SAN FRANCISCO — Jaime Garcia was the only obstacle standing between Matt Cain and another dominant performance at AT&T Park Friday night.
Garcia (2-3) handed Cain (3-3) his second home loss of the season by stifling the Giants (20-30) bats over 62⁄3 innings and driving in the decisive run in a 2-0 win by the visiting Atlanta Braves.
The Braves left hander broke a scoreless tie after manager Bruce Bochy elected to intentionally walk shortstop Dansby Swanson with two outs and a runner on second in the top of the seventh.
But instead of being a routine out, Garcia managed to squeak a ground ball past an outstretched Brandon Crawford into left, bringing in Tyler Flowers.
