Giants hang on to sweep Braves

A gutsy performance from Landen Roupp kept the Braves potent lineup in check and the bullpen did their thing and suddenly the Giants have won five in a row. That keeps them a game behind the LA. Today Mike Yastrzemski, who struggled mightily in May, got the big hit (two-out, two-run double) in the 4th to put the team ahead for good. Yaz also plated the Giants first run with a sac fly in the 2nd. The bullpen took over for Roupp after six. Ryan Walker (7th), Randy Rodriguez (8th), and Camilo Doval (9th) each struck out two batters in their inning of work.
