July 4 - A pair of pitchers looking to build off strong starts will aim to give their teams an Independence Day victory when the San Francisco Giants finish a three-game road set against the Atlanta Braves.

Atlanta's Charlie Morton (5-4, 3.89 ERA) will face Logan Webb (6-6, 3.12) in Thursday night's series finale, following a split of the first two meetings.

Morton threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings Friday in his most recent outing, helping Atlanta top the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1. With the victory, the 40-year old right-hander has defeated every major league club. In 16 career starts against San Francisco, Morton is 4-6 with a 2.
