San Francisco Giants vs Atlanta Braves Match Player Stats On Aug 28, 2021

Right-hander Logan Webb pitched seven scoreless innings and helped himself at the plate and in the field to lead the visiting San Francisco Giants to a 5-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.

Webb (8-3) allowed five hits, one walk and struck out six to win his seventh straight decision over 13 starts. It was his fourth scoreless start this season of at least six innings.

Over his last 13 outings, the right-hander has a 1.47 ERA and the team is 12-1.

Webb was also 1-for-3 with a double and scored a run. He also started an inning-ending double play in the sixth inning to get out a first-and-third situation.

Tyler Rogers pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jay Jackson worked a scoreless ninth, striking out the side, to secure the team's 15th shutout -- tied for most in the majors.

The Giants evened the series at a game apiece and have won six of their last seven games. The rubber game will be played on Sunday.

The losing pitcher was Huascar Ynoa (4-4), who pitched six innings and allowed two runs on three hits, three walks and three strikeouts.

The Giants offense was led by Tommy La Stella and Mike Yastrzemski. La Stella, a former Brave, hit a solo homer, his third, in the first inning and drove in Webb with a sacrifice fly in the third. Yastrzemski was 2-for-4 with a double, a homer and two RBIs.

San Francisco picked up a run in the seventh on Yastrzemski's team-leading 21st home run off Richard Rodriguez. It was the team's league-leading 197th home run.

The Giants put the game away with two runs in the eighth against Chris Martin. Darin Ruf delivered a two-out RBI single and Yastrzemski followed with a run-scoring double.

The Giants were playing without Kris Bryant, who sat out the game with right side tightness. Bryant's MRI came back negative and he is expected to play in Sunday's series finale.
