August 15 - The Atlanta Braves go for their first four-game road sweep over the San Francisco Giants in 68 years when the National League playoff contenders wrap up their season series Thursday afternoon.
Separated by just 1 1/2 games when they took the field Monday, the Braves entered the showdown series having lost seven of eight, while the Giants had won four of five to close the gap in the NL wild-card race.
However, extra-inning RBIs by Travis d'Arnaud on Monday and Tuesday and Michael Harris II's first-inning grand slam on Wednesday have allowed Atlanta to run off three consecutive wins over San Francisco.
