BRAVES vs. GIANTS_ Official Full Game Highlights (June 26) _ 2026 MLB Season (Jung Hoo Lee)

It's Braves after dark. Braves have traveled up the coast to take on the San Francisco Giants for a three-game weekend series at Oracle Park. On the hill tonight for the Giants will be the right-hander Trevor McDonald and how he fares tonight against the left-handed bats of the Atlanta Braves is going to determine his fate. Yeah, he needs a good start. And Chapman right there to his left, played perfectly. And that's how this game gets started. Dubon's got that Raffy Devers stance only from the right side. He's going to flip this one into center field, and it's going to fall. Nothing Jung-Hoo could do about that one. Mauricio Dubon, a two-strike single in front of Matt Olson. There goes the runner, Dubon. He got a big jump. The pitch taken, the throw, and he is safe. Cavanaugh's got a good arm, but he had to hurry that throw, and it kind of tailed on him, so Dubon steals second. Just his second steal of the year. Strike three called. He got the high strike. Olson was ready to challenge, I think. Decided not to, and I think for him it was a good decision because that was a strike. Here's Ozzie Albies on the ground from his knees and digging it out. Lisa Rice, what a play. Right off the bat, a terrific defensive play to save a run and end the inning. And on the mound, Reynaldo Lopez making his return to the rotation here. So this is his first start, CJ, since April. Rises at 29 at-bats. Lifetime against Lopez with 11 hits. Hits one high and a double. Such a great plus to have him in the lineup tonight. Plus, he might have actually thought that he got this. Well, I thought he got it. And I wouldn't blame him. And Yaz had to play perfectly. It's like he played here every day. Oh, he did. Yeah, he did. Eldridge hitting .278. On the ground the other way. And Ariz may have made a mistake, and he did. He broke the rule. all sitting pretty on the ground, stay. Casey Schmidt hitting .294. Ozzie over, makes a great play. They'll only get the one, but Ozzie with spectacular defense. Take one away from Casey Schmidt. We're not even through a full inning, and we've seen some pretty great defensive plays on both sides here. Devers has faced Lopez 15 times. He's got some ownage. Six hits. Devers hits one. Way out at center field. Comes the throw. One-nothing. Giant. He thought he had it. We thought he had it, and it just goes about halfway up the wall, and you have to settle for a double. He hit it at 332. Ball spurts away. Devers is going to go. There was no hesitation at all there from Devers. He had a great jump. Kim with a diving stop, and he saves a run. Boy, the middle infield for Atlanta coming to play here in the first. It'll be a single by Riley. That time got a slider that he was able to barrel out there to right center field. The Braves have their second hit of the game. He's at first base for Dominic Smith. 1-0 Giants. Now a ball caught on McDonald. That'll give Riley second base. He swings and bounces it up the middle to base it into center field. That kicked off the mound, found a hole, and that'll tie the game. RBI single by Dominic Smith as he spanked it right back through the middle. And that caromed off the mound and found a home in center field. That's a 1-1 game in the top of the second. Adamas drops in a little soft line drive for a leadoff single. In front of Matt Chapman. Runner takes off on the 3-2. Going to have to turn around and head back to first. Harris fires over there. Double play! A perfect strike from Michael Harris. It had to be a perfect throw all the way to Matt, and he hit him right in the chest from center field. This is his first Major League at-bat, Cavanaugh. Swinging it well in AAA, 3.30 with six home runs. Cavanaugh strikes out swinging. Curveball got him. So not in his first at bat. He goes down. The Giants lead off single, but no runs. We'll go to the third. It's a 1-1 game. That'll be an infield hit. Very similar to the ball Harris hit to start the game with Chapman playing way off the line. 0-1, ground ball to the left side. Chapman has it. The second, they get one. Arias fires to first, and it's a bad throw. It into the Braves' dugout. That allows Dubon to reach. It'll take second base. Olsen with a soft tapper to the left side. Gloving at the shortstop, Adamas. Gathers and throws. That throws in time. Over to third base for Dubon and two down in the inning. And now the cleanup hitter, Ozzie Albies. 1-0 and served in the center field. That humpback liner is down for a base hit. Braves take the lead on the base hit by Ozzie Albies. RBI number 43 for Ozzie. The Braves have a 2-1 lead. Harris, who has a hit. He's hit two very similar balls his first two times up. One was fielded by Chapman. One wasn't. He hits this one to right field on the line. Barracoto coming in. He will dive and catch it. Victor Barracoto. Heck of a play. One down. Dubon is able to beat that out. So he's got a couple of hits tonight, does Mauricio Dubon, in his return to San Francisco. Matt Olson. Matt Olson hits this high in the air. What's the wind going to do with this baseball? At the wall, and it drops right in front of the wall. And the runners will be at second and third. Dubon had to wait. Looking for just a little bit more push, but enough there. It's right at the base of the wall for Lee. Now the infield in for Ozzie Albies. He's got an RBI already. And it's a high fly ball to center. Lee giving ground under it. He'll make the catch. Tagging from third base, Dubon. He'll try to score. Sac fly by Ozzie Albies. Makes it 3-1 Braves in the top of the fifth inning. Ozzie's second RBI of the game. New pitcher, third of the game for Atlanta, Hurston Waldrop, the right-hander. 3-2, he got Chapman to go. That was ball four, but Chapman swung at it. Drew Cavanaugh for his second major league at bat. Cavanaugh family watching. He lines this one into right center field base hit. And Drew Cavanaugh's got his first major league hit. And the Cavanaugh family, they may not sit down the rest of the night. Don't get picked off. Barracoto takes ball four. It goes by the catcher to the backstop. Barracoto draws the walk. Giants, bottom of the order has done its job. It's built an opportunity here. Cavanaugh with the hit. Barracoto with the walk. That's low. Ball four. Ari draws the walk. And back-to-back walks drawn by the Giants. The bases are loaded for Eldridge. First and water. Season debut and in a tough spot right now. Bases loaded. He got him. It's that slider that dooms Eldridge. Two down. so there's the second piece of the puzzle one left to put in place Casey Schmidt is the batter ground ball Kim has it and flips to Ozzie and Waldrop gets out of the jam Braves three Giants one into the bottom of the seventh Drew Cavanaugh leads off of the Giants eight nine and one in their order still Waldrop on the mound it's a leadoff walk I'd say that's about the only thing that Waldrop would like to polish up from what we've seen tonight he's displayed a pretty good selection of secondary pitches to go along with the splitter, but that's his fourth walk. And the 2-2 pitch and a soft tapper up the third baseline. Going to be a tough play. Waldrop has it as he's sticking it in his back pocket. The 8th and 9th place hitters have reached. Two on, nobody out. Out of the Braves dugout comes their manager Walt Weiss. It'll be the left-hander Lee coming in. Alisa Rice coming up. He bunts it, pushes up the first baseline. Lee has it, spins, throws in time. Nice play by Dillon to get an out. I mean, had to thread the needle right over the shoulder of a Rice and delivered a perfect throw to Matt Olson. Runners at second and third, one down for Bryce Eldridge. First pitch swinging and popped up on the infield. Ozzie Albies is looking up into the nighttime sky, makes the catch. Boy, those are two huge outs on consecutive pitches. Now facing Casey Schmidt, right-handed batter. 1-1 pitch. And a fly ball towards right field. Mike Yastrzemski is under it. He camps out. He's shy of the track. Nice job by Dylan Lee as he gets the fly out to right field and defuses that bomb at the bottom of the 7. Dylan Lee, the left-hander, still in against Devers, who swings to the first pitch, and it's a ground ball right to second. Fielded by Albies. He throws out Devers, who's gone on one pitch. Junghoo is 0-3 tonight, a rare 0-4 for him. There's a fly ball towards right center field. Mike Yastrzemski galloping to his right, slows, makes the catch, 2 down. Five outs on nine pitches, and now here's Adama. Swing and a drive out to center field, Harris going back, Harris still going back, jumps up and didn't catch it, no catch, Adamas into second, he'll stop there with a double, Harris got to the ball, jumped, it was in his glove or almost in his glove and rattled out, and that's going to chase Dylan Lee out of this game. And Matt Chapman, 0-3 with a couple of strikeouts. Thomas at second, two down. Jags are down 3-1, bottom eight. The pitch. Got him looking, strike three. A 98-mile-an-hour fastball. He just red-lighted at the top of the zone, and he strikes out Chapman. And that ends the bottom of the eighth. We're near the bottom of the ninth here. Braves three outs away from securing game one of the series, leading it 3-1. Braves trying to snap this skid. They haven't won since Saturday. That was that walk-off homer by Ozzie Albies versus the Brewers. Bouncer right back to the mound, and the four-game skid is over. Atlanta wins the lid lifter here in San Francisco, 3-1. What a great job all the way around. We highlighted the defense and how excellent it was here today. The offense coming up big in the right spots when they had those runners in scoring position, they capitalized. But the way that Walt Weiss had to run the pitching staff today, in particular with Ronaldo Lopez getting the start and the three innings for him and then it was five more relievers behind him that got the job done. Just excellent work all the way around by this pitching staff.
