Smoke Clears at Oracle Park, but Braves Still Burned by Another Loss

SAN FRANCISCO — The fire wasn’t on the field, but maybe it should have been.

Just hours before Sunday’s series finale between the Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants, smoke poured from a concession stand inside Oracle Park, prompting an emergency evacuation. No injuries were reported, and the game proceeded as scheduled.

But for Atlanta, the real blaze might be the one slowly consuming its season.

Former Clemson standout and Braves ace Spencer Strider made his fifth start since returning from the injured list.
