Red-hot Giants sweep first-place Braves, Suárez collects first career win

ATLANTA–With the National League’s highest-scoring offense and a young roster oozing with potential, the Atlanta Braves hardly looked like a mess entering the weekend.

Tell that to the Giants, who broke out the brooms anyway and swept away the first place team in the National League East with a 4-3 win on Sunday.

In a game featuring a pair of rookie pitchers who had combined for three career starts before Sunday’s series finale, Giants southpaw Andrew Suárez, 25, outdueled Braves right-hander Mike Soroka, 20, to pick up his first career victory

The Giants’ sweep marked the club’s first since taking three in a row from the Pittsburgh Pirates from June 30-July 2, 2017.
