SAN FRANCISCO–The San Francisco Giants complete a three-game sweep and increase their winning streak to five games, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Atlanta Braves 4–3 at Oracle Park on Sunday afternoon. The Giants defeated Atlanta by just one run for the third consecutive game thanks to a clutch breakout effort from Mike Yastrzemski and a composed display from starter Landen Roupp.

When the club most needed him, Yastrzemski, who has been in a long slump and had not scored an RBI since early May, came through. Starting with a sacrifice fly in the second inning that scored the Giants’ first run, the veteran outfielder scored all three of his RBIs in the first half of the game. Then, in the fourth inning, with the Giants behind 3-1, Yastrzemski blasted a double into the gap to tie the score and energize the Oracle Park crowd. In addition to eliminating Atlanta’s lead, the hit marked an important moment in Yastrzemski’s season as he looks ahead to make plays and moments like this. Yastrzemski was one of the Giants’ most effective hitters at the beginning of the season, but once May arrived, he found it challenging to maintain his strong start.

Roupp improved to 4–4 on the season after going through six innings on the mound to earn the victory. Although giving up three runs in the first inning, all of which were driven in by Braves hitter Matt Olson, Roupp remained cool and kept Atlanta scoreless after the fourth inning. The bullpen took it from there after a solid performance that kept the game within the Giants’ offensive control. Following the trio of Walker, Rodriguez, and Dova.

With the win, the Giants made a statement: this team is on the rise. They also swept a Braves squad that came into the series in dire need of a spark. In each series game, the Giants found different ways to win, and a single run settled each game. The team showed the kind of grit that successful ballclubs are known for, whether it was Matt Chapman’s walk-off home run on Saturday or their clutch bullpen performance on Friday.

The Giants will have a well-earned day off on Monday before starting a home series against the Colorado Rockies. They are currently sitting firmly above .500 and gaining momentum. Kyle Harrison, a left-hander pitcher, (1-1, 4.34) is expected to start on Tuesday. One game at a time, the Giants are finally giving answers to a club that began the season with worries about depth and consistency. Giants are now on a five-game winning streak, looking to make it six on Tuesday in Colorado.
