San Francisco vs Atlanta   Matchups, Results & Stats

Winners in three straight games, the Giants scored 14 runs in a pair of wins -- 7-2 and 7-5 -- over the Braves. San Francisco is vying for its first four-game winning streak of the season and its first series sweep of 2026.

Right-hander Landen Roupp (5-7, 4.24 ERA) will aim to find his way out of a lackluster start to the month of June when he makes the start on Thursday. He is 0-2 with an 8.16 ERA in his last three starts and hasn't earned a win since April 26.

Roupp failed to complete five innings for the second time in his last three starts on Friday, yielding four runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings of a 5-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs.

"It was a challenging one for him," San Francisco manager Tony Vitello said of Roupp. "It seemed like once he got ahead in the count, it didn't go well from there."

Roupp had a 5-1 record with a 2.55 ERA through April before dropping six straight decisions.

"I'm getting guys 0-2 and then I look up and it's 3-2," Roupp said. "I've just got to be better at putting guys away and also not going for the strikeout so much. First-pitch outs are really good and I've got to compete in the zone better."

Roupp is 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in four career appearances (two starts) against the Braves.

Atlanta, meanwhile, is scuffling through its worst stretch of the season. The Braves have lost six of their past seven games and have seen the second-place Philadelphia Phillies close the deficit in the National League East to 6 1/2 games. On May 22, their division lead was 10 1/2 games.

Hoping to serve as a stopper, veteran left-hander Martin Perez (5-3, 2.90) will look to record his fourth straight victory on Thursday for Atlanta.

Perez has pitched at least five innings in each of his past five starts since being reinserted in the rotation on May 19.

He went 5 1/3 innings last time out, allowing just one run on four hits while striking out four in a 3-1 road win over the New York Mets.

"Martin was outstanding," Braves manager Walt Weiss said of Perez's most recent outing. "He's been great. He just carves up lineups. When he does get into trouble, he can navigate out of it. He's been one of our better starters."

Perez was designated for assignment by Atlanta on April 12 before being re-signed. He has responded to the moves by posting the second-best starting ERA on the staff, trailing only Chris Sale and his 2.30.

Weiss, a former Braves player, says Perez embodies the way the franchise is able to maximize players' talent.

"Even going back to the times when I played, Atlanta typically tends to get the best version out of guys," Weiss said. "I do think it's something to do with the winning culture and I think that elevates a player's game. We've done a lot of winning here over a few decades, so I think when guys come in, that's infectious."

Perez is 1-1 with a 2.51 ERA in five career appearances (all starts) against the Giants.
