Game Preview

The Atlanta Braves look to extend their successful stint in the Bay Area as they face the San Francisco Giants for the third consecutive night on Wednesday.

Former Giants Jorge Soler and Pierce Johnson, along with ex-Athletics Ramon Laureano and Jesse Chavez, played key roles in Atlanta’s 4-3 victory on Tuesday. Soler contributed with an RBI double, Laureano hit a solo homer, and Chavez added a scoreless inning with two strikeouts. The Braves have already secured the first two games of the four-game series, increasing their lead to 3 1/2 games over the Giants for the final National League wild-card spot.

San Francisco has now dropped three straight games by just one run, which has brought them back to a .500 record for the season. Giants manager Bob Melvin expressed frustration over these close losses at home.

There’s a possibility that outfielder Adam Duvall might be removed from the roster as the Braves prepare to activate Michael Harris II from the injured list. Duvall, struggling with a .178 average, went 0-for-4 in the series opener.

On the other hand, Soler has thrived since his trade to Atlanta, hitting .279 with four homers in 12 games. Despite the adjustments to playing in the field, Soler has embraced his new role with the Braves.

Travis d’Arnaud has been pivotal for the Braves, driving in crucial runs in extra innings during the series. He’s expected to play again on Wednesday against Giants left-hander Robbie Ray, who has struggled in past encounters with Atlanta. Ray has posted a 4.85 ERA in seven career starts against the Braves, although he’s been effective in recent outings.

The Braves are likely to send right-hander Grant Holmes to the mound, aiming to secure the season-series win. Holmes, a former Dodgers first-round pick, has transitioned from the bullpen to starting and has been solid in his recent appearances, including a notable performance against the Giants earlier in the season.
