With the San Francisco Giants on a nice run after a tough stretch, they continue proving they can be a contender in the National League. While the Giants are far from perfect, they have been able to win games consistently in 2025. San Francisco has been a team built on pitching a defense this year, with some help at times from some timely hitting. This combination has resulted in a lot of wins early on, with the Giants leaning on one of the best bullpens in baseball this year.

The Braves have suffered seven consecutive losses, including five straight by one run. The Braves led 3-1 in the fourth inning when starting pitcher Spencer Strider began the frame with a pair of walks. Strider, though, was a pitch away from getting out of the jam thanks to Atlanta's defense.

Mike Yastrzemski drove in three runs as the San Francisco Giants extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. The Giants swept the three-game series and sent the Braves to their seventh straight loss. Atlanta has lost 14 of its last 17 games and fell to 27-37, a season-low 10 games under .500.

Thousands of fans formed sprawling lines around Oracle Park hours before the Giants faced the floundering Braves on Sunday afternoon. Many were hoping for a sweep after the Giants won the first two games of the series in walk-offs, but almost all were braving the massive crowds in hopes of being one of the first 15,000 fans to receive a special Hello Kitty jersey. Hello Kitty is a Japanese cat mascot that has become popular both in other Asian countries and around the world, and its merchandise was certainly coveted before the Giants game that was expected to sell out the stadium with a capacity of 42,300. A few hours before first pitch — which was thrown out by the life-sized Hello Kitty mascot — the cheapest ticket on the ticketing app SeatGeek would cost a customer over $100.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Logan Webb has been one of the most consistent aces in baseball over the last few years. Ray is having an excellent bounce-back season, looking like the Cy Young version of himself when he won the award in the American League in 2021 while pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays.

The San Francisco Giants had to evacuate their clubhouse when a fire broke out just hours before the first pitch against the Atlanta Braves Sunday. A concession stand at Oracle Park reportedly went up in flames at around 1:30pm ET/10:30am PT Sunday with the ballpark scheduled to host the series finale between the two teams, according to Braves beat writer Mark Bowman. With just under three hours still remaining until the game began at 4:05pm ET/1:05 PT, thankfully no fans were already inside the stadium with gates not yet scheduled to open. Alarms reportedly went off when a small fire reportedly broke out at Fuku - a Korean BBQ stand - forcing the Giants clubhouse to empty out onto the field.

The Giants joined historic MLB company after San Francisco's tightly contested seven-game homestand.

The wild fan incident, practically unprecedented in baseball, made it difficult to enjoy the recent spark on offense that brought a third consecutive victory. It occurred in the top of the fourth inning when Braves catcher Sean Murphy hit a sacrifice fly into right field. As Giants right fielder Mike Yastrzemski threw the ball home, another ball unexpectedly appeared in the same vicinity.

The San Francisco Giants dealt minor league reliever Justin Garza to the New York Mets for cash late Saturday, per MLB.com. The deal comes with no ramifications for the Giants' 40-man roster, as they received no player in return and Garza has been in the minor leagues since he signed with San Francisco at the start of the 2024 season.

Down 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, the San Francisco Giants needed to work some magic. Third baseman Matt Chapman stepped up to the plate with two outs and a man on first. Atlanta Braves reliever Pierce Johnson left a hanging curveball over the middle, and Chapman made him pay. The All-Star lifted a 365-foot fly ball to left field, clearing the fence for a walk-off home run.

Matt Chapman hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning and the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 3-2 on Saturday for their fourth straight win. Heliot Ramos singled with one out against Braves reliever Pierce Johnson (1-3). After Wilmer Flores popped out, Chapman homered to left for his 12th of the season. It spoiled a stellar start by Atlanta's Bryce Elder, who allowed a run and three hits while striking out 12 in eight innings.

Meanwhile, the Braves, who wrapped up a recent homestand with 2-1 and 11-10 losses to the Arizona Diamondbacks, have lost six games in a row -- the last four by a total of four runs.

The Atlanta Braves hit a low not seen since 2017 after an ugly 3-2 loss to the San Francisco Giants. The Braves have had a dismal start in 2025, especially for a team with hefty expectations. The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets are borderline gone in the divisional race and now Atlanta is riding a six-game losing streak. USA TODAY Major League Baseball columnist Bob Nightengale detailed how poor the Braves' season has been, especially considering this franchise's success this decade.

The Braves are in grave danger of having their long playoff streak snapped after close to a decade of dominance
