As ugly as losses get.

Rookie Drake Baldwin drove in a career-high six runs and the Atlanta Braves overpowered visiting San Francisco 9-5 on Monday, sending the Giants to their sixth straight loss. Baldwin went 3-for-5 with two doubles and scored two runs to help the Braves end a two-game losing streak.

Drake Baldwin came up clutch, and the pitching was just enough as Braves win.

Rookie Drake Baldwin drove in six runs, Ronald Acuña Jr. scored three times and the Atlanta Braves beat San Francisco 9-5 on Monday night, handing the Giants their season-high sixth straight loss. Baldwin was 3 for 5 and scored 2 runs from the DH slot.

Thanks in part to the All-Star break, Hayden Birdsong went roughly two weeks in between starts. Instead, Birdsong hit his nadir Monday. Birdsong's imperfect outing set the stage for the Giants' 9-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Monday night at Truist Park, extending the team's season-high losing streak to six games.

Rookie infielder Nacho Alvarez is focused on maintaining a positive mindset and having fun.

A beloved therapy bunny named Alex The Great, who provided snuggles and comfort from ballparks to NBA arenas, airports, farmers markets and even Easter egg hunts and NASCAR races, has died. A floppy-eared Flemish giant who was larger than life in both size and spirit, Alex suffered complications from cancer treatment and died early Monday, his owners said. Alex appeared June 4 sporting his signature cap for Padres-Giants at Oracle Park. At 4 months old, he attended his first Giants game in April 2021 — believed to be the first bunny in the stands at the waterfront ballpark.

Despite a great start to the season, the San Francisco Giants are heading in the wrong direction of late. Coming out of the All-Star break, the Giants ran into the red-hot Toronto Blue Jays and were swept. San Francisco made the significant move to acquire Rafael Devers about a month ago from the Boston Red Sox, but the star slugger has struggled with some nagging injuries.

Atlanta Braves fans aren't happy with the ownership's decision to increase ticket prices despite the poor product on the field.

The Braves look to get a win streak going as time is quickly running out

The San Francisco Giants played their ugliest game of the year Monday, and it couldn't have come at a worse time.

Buster Posey has taken some big swings since becoming the San Francisco Giants' president of baseball operations last fall. Last winter, Posey added Willy Adames and Justin Verlander in free agency, giving Adames the largest contract in Giants history at seven years and $182 million. The star shortstop has struggled in his first season with San Francisco, batting .222/.306/.386 (99 OPS+) with 14 home runs, 50 RBI and 1.0 WAR in 99 games. Meanwhile, Verlander's been one of the worst pitchers in baseball this year, going 0-8 with a 4.99 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP and -0.7 WAR in 16 starts.

Every year there are players who are snubbed from being named as a participant in the MLB All-Star Game, but there may not have been a more deserving player who didn't get invited than San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Tyler Rogers. All three of those players were deserving of the honor, but Rogers had a strong case to be there with them.
