Justin Verlander has ended the longest winless streak for a Giants pitcher in a single season. He led San Francisco to a 9-3 victory Wednesday over the Atlanta Braves.

In a surprising turn of events, since the San Francisco Giants acquired slugger Rafael Devers, their offensive production has actually worsened.

Atlanta Braves lose 9-0 to San Francisco Giants in second game of series. Braves struggle to score with runners on base, losing opportunity after opportunity.

BOTTOM LINE: The Atlanta Braves and San Francisco Giants meet on Wednesday with the winner claiming the three-game series. Atlanta has a 26-25 record at home and a 44-56 record overall. The Braves have the 10th-ranked team slugging percentage in the NL at .389.

In his 17th start of the season, Justin Verlander finally won his first game as a Giant — and the 263rd of his career — by pitching around five walks to deliver five scoreless innings as San Francisco (54-49) defeated the Atlanta Braves 9-3 on Wednesday afternoon at Truist Park.

Rafael Devers pushed back against picking up a glove to play defense during his run with the Red Sox. But, he struck a different tone after he joined the Giants.

Rafael Devers was error free in his first career start at first base and added two hits and an RBI as the San Francisco Giants snapped a season-worst six-game skid with a 9-0 win over the Atlanta Braves.
