SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Travis d’Arnaud homered early and hit an RBI single in the 10th inning that sent the Atlanta Braves past the San Francisco Giants 4-3 on Tuesday night.
Ramón Laureano also went deep and Austin Riley singled twice to lead Atlanta to its second consecutive win over San Francisco in extra innings. The Braves beat the Giants 1-0 in 10 innings on d’Arnaud’s sacrifice fly in the series opener Monday.
“If we’re going to make a push and do anything, that’s kind of the way it starts happening,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “We did a lot of really good things tonight. Good team win.”
Pinch-runner Luke Williams began the 10th as the automatic runner at second base. With one out, d’Arnaud hit a grounder toward the right side of the infield. The ball deflected off the glove of diving second baseman Brett Wisely into right field.
“I was just trying to stay short and hit a groundball,” d’Arnaud said. “Luckily it found a hole and that was it.”
