 The Giants are 11-6 on the road against Atlanta since 2014, their best winning percentage as the visitor against any NL team over that time frame. San Francisco is just 4-8 on the road against the NL East in 2019, however, and has lost six straight road series against that division dating back to last season.

 Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 40th homer of the season on Thursday, and two other Braves (Freddie Freeman, 38; Josh Donaldson, 37) are within striking distance of that mark. Only three teams in MLB history -- the 1973 Braves, 1996 Rockies and 1997 Rockies -- have had three players with 40 or more homers in a season.

 Kevin Pillar's 84 RBI since joining the Giants on April 2 are the second-most by any player in the division era (since 1969) who started the season with another team. Willie Montanez had 85 after being traded from the Phillies to the Giants in 1975.

 Mike Yastrzemski's home run at Boston's Fenway Park on Tuesday was his 13th on the road since May 31. Eugenio Suarez (18), Ronald Acuna. Jr. (17) and Pete Alonso (15) are the only NL players with more over that period.

 Mike Foltynewicz has posted a 1.00 ERA through his first three starts of September, second-lowest among qualified NL pitchers so far this month (Adam Wainwright, 0.33). He's just 1-7 with a 5.19 ERA in 11 starts vs. NL West teams since August 2017, with the lone win coming against the Giants on Sept. 11, 2018.

 Tyler Beede and Johnny Cueto, the Giants' first two scheduled starters of the series, have not allowed a run while pitching at least five innings in each of their last two starts. The last San Francisco pitcher to go three straight starts of five or more innings while not giving up a run was Jeff Brantley in 1992.

The Atlanta Braves will have a chance to clinch their second straight National League East championship Friday night when they host the San Francisco Giants in the opener of three-game series at SunTrust Park.
Atlanta (94-60) reduced its magic number to one after beating the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Thursday. One Atlanta win or one Washington loss will ensure a division title for the Braves.

Braves poised to clinch NL East against Giants

ATLANTA (AP)  Freddie Freeman didn't care that his eyes kept tearing up from all the beer and champagne soakings.
It seemed like every teammate stopped by to blast him, and he loved every minute of it.
