Giants vs. Braves Game Highlights (7/21/25) | MLB Highlights

And it’s good to have Bryce Selder back on the mound. Not only did he throw so well against the Giants last time, he was also really good in his last start against the ST Louis Cardinals. So maybe finding something Bernie touched on it. The key to that great sinker. Of course, the changeup is very important slider as well. We’re looking forward to a good outing tonight for Bryce Elder. All right, we’re ready to go. Jung Ho Lee stands in Jung Ho Le though a charge into this one to center field Harris, he has it just in front of that 400 sign and Braves Country can exhale Elliott Ramos, the batter that is ball four. So Ramos draws the walk. We didn’t see a lot of walks in Toronto. So that is an encouraging sign as you start this series. So rafael Devers stands in Devers on the ground into right field base, hit Ramos right over top it. That’s a good play. But again, another hard hit 104 off the bat, just the pure, hard loud contact is a great sign. Willie adam comes up this ball drilled out to left center who is going to get over there, it’s going to be pro far tagging from second is Ramos, he gets to third. So the Giants now have runners at 1st and 3rd with two outs for Matt chapman hits that one hard and a fair ball knocked down at third by Nacho Alvarez and Chapman will be safe at first. The Giants get a run on the board. Yastrzemski back to the mound. Giants strike first. Bravo’s coming up the young right hander Hayden Birdsong. First time he’s been on a game mound in a long time. The Giants are just looking for consistency and he’s looking for it as well. Get into the strike zone. You can see the 33 walks in 65 and two thirds innings just trying to clean that up and attack because this stuff plays at this level. It’ll be Prova Olson and a CIA for the Braves are in the bottom of the first inning and a walk for pro far. So talking about birdsong and some of those control issues, he walked five the last time he faced the Braves on June 6 and he starts this game off with a walk runner at first Matt in the batter. That’s off the mid of it went into the backstop and down to second base now for Jerks and pro and he takes ball four back to back walks by birdsong. All these walks lately for birdsong. He flew the coop with that one back to back. Walks here comes 15 days since his last start. He returns here tonight and walks the first three batters. They’re going to get the bullpen going. Braves gave up one run in the top of the first inning. And now looking to strike back here, no one out here is Drake Baldwin. Baldwin right center that’s going to put the gap all the way to the wall and they are circling the bases, one in two in three in two, one fastball elevated all over with that beautiful level, swing and off to the races go the Braves base runners as Drake Baldwin picks up three RB I S still no one out here’s Ozzie Albes, some of the CJ. It almost looks like he’s trying to guide that baseball in there. Four walks and a three RB I double so far. Nobody out. Whoa. And now it’s getting dangerous out there. That one almost hit Murphy up around the ear hole and you really wonder if they’re thinking about potentially getting him out of the game right now. Did that catch Murph Murphy says it did? And right now for Bob Melvin, he just wants to know if his reliever is ready and the answer to that question is yes. And Matt Gauge takes over with the bases loaded. Still nobody out. Atlanta’s got three runs in here in the first inning to pitch is swung on and miss rock him out with a slider perfect pitch right over the outside corner. Long last Giants get the first out of this bottom of the first inning, Michael Harris, the second Harris strikes out on the fastball went with the four seamer. That gauge has struck out the first two hitters that he’s faced in this game and he has back to back strikeouts of Alvarez and Harris, but now it’s up to Nick Allen grounded to the left side. It gets past chapman two more coming home five in the first for the Braves. That is a thing of beauty. We know how good of a defender, matt Chapman is and it looked like he had a beat on this baseball, maybe a high, he couldn’t even get a glove on it. Certainly take it as at least two more runs here, but he was on it and back to the top of the order to jerk and prova 12 pitch , he swings and pops it up back of first Flores out Schmidt angling out and Schmidt right along the foul line in fair territory will reach up to make the, got a chance here with a runner in scoring position. Flores at second with nobody out and hits a fly ball shallow in the left center profar a long run coming in, he dives and he’s unable to make the catch. He trapped it quickly. Profar picks it up. Flores had to wait goes sprinting to third, maybe a little banged up perhaps got the wind knocked out of him. It’s a blue pit for casey Schmidt and the Giants have runners at 1st and 3rd with nobody out. Is Patrick Bailey now to center field Harris is there that’s going to be deep enough to score. Wilmer from third. He’ll tag Schmidt just bluffing from first. So the sacrifice fly for Patrick Bailey and the Giants, one of those runs back, it’s 5 to 2, so a walk and a single have them at 1st and 2nd 52. Braves. Here’s matt Chapman. Chapman drove in a run with a single in the first inning. Chapman bouncer to short Allen has got it to second. They get one as he triggers the first double play. That’s the ground ball that he wanted and a very valuable double play behind Elder as that goes 643 to eliminate Chapman and Adamos Devers over to third base. But that was the best case scenario right there. Mikey Bats pro far back. He’s got it good job by Elder to get out of it. No damage done. Giants already on the third pitch of the game trying to add onto this 52 lead here in the fourth and this is the man who made it happen for the Braves back in the first inning 12 to Baldwin bouncer up the middle out of the reach of the diving Casey Smith Olson around third base and he’ll come across and score a wants to try as well starts to the plate. He dives, he’s in there run to Cunha running as fast as he could around third like a mad dash to the plate and the hustle drives in a couple of runs at 72. Braves. Ozzie down in the left hand batter’s box Baldwin at second and Ozzie with a single to center and now Baldwin’s going to come home eight runs already for Atlanta. We’re only in the fourth. The at bats have certainly been quality tonight from Rafi Devers a one out single here in the fifth. So one on one out. Now, Adam Adam out to left center profar didn’t see it. It gets by him and it goes to the wall Devers had to hesitate but now they’re going to send him home. Allen will not make the relay. Devils Devers will score Adam into second profar. Lost it in the lights some good fortune for the Giants. There, here’s Ronald and he swings and drives one to deep right center. He wasn’t bothered and that baby is off the bricks. Ronald’s on his way to second base to throw in. Not in time. Stand up. Double ronald Lacuna didn’t care where he threw it from Drake Baldwin. Here he is with another RB I chance be, he’s driven in five tonight and he sends a fly ball to left center field fairly deep , but Lee is there. Oh, and he misjudged it and dropped it. Ronald’s going to score and down to second goes Baldwin. What in the world happened out there to Jung Ho Lee? That’s why, I mean, you don’t see that in the big leagues. Nine to three. Atlanta Raphael Monte will be the third pitcher of the night for the Braves 93 Braves lead. It’s been going the Braves way tonight. Here’s Willie A DAAs. He hits that one deep to left field and it is gone. Willie Adam. A nice game gets even nicer 9 to 4. Put a real good swing on that 11 and 1.5 off the bat. 15th home run for Willie adam. So it’s a leadoff walk here in the seventh inning. A lot of walks tonight that is the seventh walk, a swing and a Miss Alvarez. He was late that entire at bat on the walker fastball at 97 right by one out. Talk to us today liner to chapman and got him double play. Wow, what an arm 110 off the bat. Probably 100 miles an hour across the diamond. Fantastic play to the top of the ninth inning and still in De Los Santos on the mound for the Braves. He has a 94 lead. He’ll be facing 23 and four, the Giants order here in the ninth. Nacho Alvarez diving stop Olson on the other end, takes it off the bounce, tremendous effort. That is a dazzling play at third by the rookie Nacho Alvarez and day by day, he continues to impress more and more with the leather. He has played himself some third base over there in the absence of austin. He has been picking it over there at the hot corner hack and a miss by de swinging over the top of the changeup. Willie Adama. The batter Adama down the left field line toward the corner and that’s going to hit off the wall and it takes kind of a funky care of, but just go, just keep running. He’ll settle for his fourth hit and third extra base hit two down for Matt Chapman. He pulls that one down the left field line, that’s a base hit and it’s gonna go to the wall. That’s a good sign. He’ll replace Adam at second as Adam scores. He’ll double, double back to back two out doubles from adam and Chapman proving that the 27th out is always the toughest one to get regardless of the score. Now, it’s just trim’s turn. I don’t think we’re going to have to worry about that right side of the infield. Olson’s got it. Braves win. They use a five run first to catapult their way to a 95 victory.
