Boosted by former Bay Area players, Braves chase another win over Giants

August 14 - The Atlanta Braves hope to continue what has been a happy mass homecoming when they send their transplants against the host San Francisco Giants for a third consecutive time on Wednesday night.

Former Giants players Jorge Soler (RBI double) and Pierce Johnson (one unearned run in one inning), and ex-Oakland Athletics Ramon Laureano (solo home run among two hits) and Jesse Chavez (scoreless inning with two strikeouts) all contributed in Atlanta's 4-3 win Tuesday in front of at least some of their old fans in the Bay Area.

One night earlier, former A's Sean Murphy and Matt Olson as well as ex-Giant Adam Duvall were all part of the Braves' starting lineup in a 1-0 win.
