The Atlanta Braves will seek to bounce back from a heartbreaking defeat when they go for a series win against the host San Francisco Giants on Wednesday night.
Left-hander Max Fried (6-2, 2.86 ERA), who has never started a game against San Francisco, is slated to oppose righty Jeff Samardzija (2-2, 3.69), who will be seeing the Braves for the first time in almost two years.

Giants hope to continue momentum vs. Braves

SAN FRANCISCO (AP)  Atlanta Braves left-hander Max Fried has received more run support this season than any other pitcher in the National League. Dansby Swanson and Freddie Freeman - with some help from San Francisco's defense - helped keep that trend going on a night when Fried wasn't his sharpest.
Swanson and Freeman hit back-to-back homers in the second inning, when Atlanta scored six unearned runs after San Francisco botched a double play, and the surging Braves beat the Giants 9-2 on Wednesday night.
