Logan Webb and Matt Chapman secure series win against Braves – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

Logan Webb threw seven strong innings to earn his first win in nearly a month. On Thursday, the Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2 for their third straight series win.

Heliot Ramos and Matt Chapman both reached their team-leading 12^th hit two home runs and scored two runs each to help San Francisco (43-45) celebrate Independence Day with its fourth win in six games.

The National League’s best pitcher in terms of number of innings pitched, Webb (7-6) was in top form for most of the evening, allowing seven hits and two runs during his shift on the mound. The Giants ace had six strikeouts and a walk and picked up his first win since June 12, when Webb pitched six innings to beat the Houston Astros.

It is the fourth consecutive game in which the Giants’ starting pitcher has lasted at least five innings. This is their first such streak since April 15-18.

After Tyler Rogers retired all three batters he faced in the eighth inning, birthday boy Camilo Doval worked his way back with a leadoff single in the ninth inning to earn his 16th career career start.^th save.

San Francisco scored all/most of its points thanks to Braves starter Charlie Morton (5-5).

Morton, who had four wins against the Giants in 16 previous career starts, allowed five hits and four runs (three earned) in 5 1/3 innings.

Atlanta took an early lead with three hits and two runs against Webb in the first inning.

The Giants didn’t get their first hit until the fourth inning, when LaMonte Wade Jr. came in with a leadoff single and scored on Ramos’ massive home run to center. After Patrick Bailey retired to watch, Chapman hit a solo home run to left center.

San Francisco extended its lead in the sixth when Chapman hit a double off Bailey to give the Giants a 4-2 lead.

Here are the takeaways from Thursday’s game:

7-5-3 defensive diamond

San Francisco threw out another runner at the plate, but this time the Giants didn’t need any help from the replay.

After Matt Olson’s leadoff walk in the fourth inning, Austin Riley hit a double down the left field line. Michael Conforto caught the ball and threw it back to third baseman Matt Chapman, who was already waiting in the outfield. Chapman made a fantastic one-hop relay throw home to catcher Patrick Bailey, who made a great play to take Olson out of the game as he slid into home.

It is the sixth time since June 17 that the Giants have ejected a player at the plate, the most in the major leagues.

Repetition helps Giants

Bob Melvin had mixed success challenging decisions during the 2024 season, but the Giants captain had the situation well under control in Atlanta.

A day after successfully overturning a decision at the plate to prevent a point, San Francisco received further help from a replay review to prevent a possible comeback by Atlanta.

Marcel Ozuna appeared to hit an infield single after Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. caught an infield grounder and threw the ball to Webb, who was trying to cover first base. Webb’s first attempt to step on base was short, but he quickly recovered, although umpires initially declared Ozuna safe.

After Melvin came out of the dugout to appeal, the play was reviewed and the decision was changed.

It is the 12th.^th This is the first time in 23 challenges that Melvin has won and the original decision has been overturned.

Yaz leaves the team due to injury

Two days after returning to the club after spending nine games on the injured list, outfielder Mike Yastrzemski was injured again and may have to miss even more time.

Yaz was hit in the right elbow by a 92.3 mph fastball from Charlie Morton in the fourth inning. Yastrzemski was obviously in pain and stood a few feet from the plate while grimacing and holding his arm. Before he stepped on first base, Yaz’s elbow was visibly swollen.

After being examined by a team trainer, Yastrzemski remained in the game until he was replaced by Luis Matos in the bottom of the fifth inning.
