Dansby Swanson homered twice to help the Atlanta Braves to a 7-6 win over the San Francisco Giants Thursday afternoon at Truist Park.
Kyle Wright found himself in some immediate trouble in the first. He struck out Mike Yastrzemski for the first out, but then allowed three straight singles to Wilmer Flores, Darin Ruf and Joc Pederson that loaded the bases. However, in what would be a reoccurring theme for the day, Wright got Evan Longoria to bounce into an inning-ending double play to escape the jam.
Brian Snitker elected to rest some of his regulars in Thursday’s game including Ronald Acuña Jr.
