Atlanta defeated Philadelphia, 6-2, yesterday at Citizens Bank Park, snapping its season-long six-game losing streak with the victory. The Braves have scored six or more runs just twice in their last 24 contests -- tied with the A's for fewest of any MLB team since games of July 5.

San Francisco and Atlanta split a four-game set in the first meeting of the season at AT&T Park (May 28-31). The Giants swept three from the Braves last year at Turner Field, allowing exactly one run in each of those wins.

Matt Cain went 6.0 innings and allowed four runs (all earned) in his last outing vs. the Brewers on July 28, taking the loss, and falling to 2-2 with a 4.50 ERA in five starts since returning from a forearm injury. Cain is 2-1 with a 1.80 ERA in three career starts against the Braves at Turner Field.

Mike Foltynewicz allowed two runs (both earned) is 6.0 innings last Wednesday in Baltimore, and including that setback, is 0-2 with a 5.72 ERA in his last five starts overall. Braves' rookie pitchers have 18 combined wins in 2015 -- second most in MLB (Rays -- 19).

Jace Peterson went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI yesterday, recording the third three-hit performance of his MLB career. Peterson had at least one hit in all four games vs. the Giants earlier this year, going 7-for-17 (.412) in the series overall.
