The Atlanta Braves will try to keep the pressure on the rest of the NL East Saturday evening when they continue a three-game series against the San Francisco Giants. The Braves took the opener Friday with a come-from-behind 6-5 win thanks to a four-run seventh that was capped off by a big three-run home run by Jorge Soler. Atlanta enters play Saturday with a 69-58 record and a 5.5 game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in the division standings.
Brian Snitker announced before Friday’s game that Huascar Ynoa and Ian Anderson would start the remainder of the series against San Francisco.
