Highly regarded Giants pitching prospect Cole Waites made his major league debut pitching the top of the seventh.
Junis struck out five and didn't walk a batter in five innings while facing the Braves for the first time.
Swanson connected for his 20th homer off Giants starter Jakob Junis (4-6). The Braves and Mets are the only clubs in baseball not to lose four in a row this year. Then the Braves' big hitters started swinging as Atlanta snapped a season-long three-game skid as it wraps up a seven-game road trip out West on Wednesday. Joc Pederson gave the Giants a 1-0 lead with an RBI single in the first off Wright. “I was kind of lagging behind at first and once I ramped up the intensity I felt like the arm was back on time and where it needed to be,” Wright said. On Tuesday, he allowed one run on three hits and walked three over 5 1/3 innings. Wright bounced back from a no-decision at Oakland last week in which he allowed a career-high eight runs while lasting only four innings. Swanson added an RBI single in the ninth. Robbie Grossman drove in a run on a groundout for Atlanta. Swanson hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the third and Michael Harris II added an RBI single later that inning to support Wright (18-5). The right-hander won his fifth straight decision. Wright struck out four while pitching into the sixth.
“Starters, bullpen, I feel like we have a lot left in the tank and I think we'll definitely continue to pursue that and show that for the rest of the year.” “I feel like we have so much more to grow as a team, I feel like we can really get into a good groove and rhythm 1 through 9,” Swanson said. Kyle Wright earned his major league-leading 18th victory, Swanson homered and drove in three runs and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 on Tuesday night to pull within a half-game of the first-place Mets in the NL East.
