ATLANTA–Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz threw each of his first 10 pitches on Friday faster than 97 miles per hour.
After Foltynewicz lit up the radar gun, the Giants took the liberty of lighting up the scoreboard.
With a six-run second inning, San Francisco erased an early 2-0 deficit en route to a 9-4 victory. After falling a season-high four games below .500 on April 21, the Giants have now won nine of their last 12 and have a chance to take their fifth consecutive series this weekend.
Atlanta entered Friday’s contest winners of five in a row as the Braves recorded back-to-back shutout victories over the Mets in their past two games.
