Slater leads Giants' late charge with big fly

"The kid bailed us out," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "For seven innings, it was quiet. Their guy was throwing the ball very well, and we couldn't mount anything against him. We got a couple of breaks with the ground attack, and Slater bailed us out."

The Giants score five runs in the 8th frame highlighted by Austin Slater's three-run home run to give the club a 5-2 lead in the 8th inning

Slater took a two-seam fastball from Braves starter Julio Teheran and sent it over the right-field fence. According to Statcast™, the homer had an exit velocity of 100.
