Travis d’Arnaud’s home run and RBI single in the 10th inning secured a 4-3 victory for the Atlanta Braves over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night. Atlanta’s Ramón Laureano also contributed with a home run, while Austin Riley had two singles, leading the Braves to their second straight extra-inning win against the Giants. The Braves had previously beaten the Giants 1-0 in 10 innings in the series opener on Monday with d’Arnaud’s sacrifice fly.

The game saw pinch-runner Luke Williams starting the 10th inning at second base, with d’Arnaud hitting a crucial RBI single after a deflection off the glove of Giants’ second baseman Brett Wisely. In the bottom of the 10th, the Giants’ attempt to advance their automatic runner to third base was thwarted by batter’s interference called on Wisely.

Dylan Lee secured the win for the Braves by retiring three batters in the 10th inning, with Raisel Iglesias recording his 25th save. The victory pushed the Braves (63-56) two games ahead of the New York Mets in the race for the final National League wild card spot, while the Giants (61-61) trail by 3 1/2 games.

Both teams had players on rehab assignments, with Braves’ RHP Reynaldo López starting a rehab with Triple-A Gwinnett, and Giants’ INF Thairo Estrada nearing activation after a rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento.

The next game will feature Giants’ LHP Robbie Ray against Braves’ RHP Grant Holmes in the series finale on Wednesday. Ray holds a 2-1 record with a 3.98 ERA, while Holmes aims to bounce back after allowing eight runs in his last two outings.

Overall, the Braves’ strong performance secured them a significant win in extra innings, strengthening their position in the wild card race as the Giants continue to fight for a playoff spot.
