August 26 – Austin Riley and Orlando Arcia hit home runs, Max Fried pitched six strong innings and the Atlanta Braves won their fourth straight game Saturday afternoon, 7-3 over the host San Francisco Giants.
Matt Olson collected a double, two singles and two RBIs for the Braves, who have won their first two games in San Francisco after taking two of three from the Giants last week in Atlanta.
For the third straight day, the Braves scored in their first at-bat and never trailed. This time, the run came on Olson’s double after Riley had drawn a two-out walk from Giants opener Ryan Walker.
Olson also drove in a run in the third with a single, before the Giants managed to temporarily draw even in the bottom of the inning on Wilmer Flores’ 19th home run of the season. The two-run shot also scored Austin Slater, who had walked.
The homers by Riley, his 30th, and Arcia, his 15th, were solo shots and came in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively, allowing the Braves to take charge.
A three-run eighth featured Eddie Rosario’s RBI single and sacrifice flies by Arcia and Nicky Lopez to make it a blowout.
Fried (5-1) bounced back from the two-run third to complete six innings, allowing no further scoring and a total of six hits. He walked two and struck out eight.
Kirby Yates, Pierce Johnson and A.J. Minter threw one inning of relief apiece, with the Giants’ final run coming on an RBI single by Wade Meckler off Minter in the ninth.
The Braves scored runs against all five Giants pitchers, including two in 3 2/3 innings off Sean Manaea (4-5), who took the loss. Manaea struck out five.
Arcia finished with two RBIs and Riley scored twice for the Braves, who have opened a 10-game Western swing with a pair of wins.
J.D. Davis had a double and a single for the Giants, who lost for the fourth time in their last five games.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – A massive fire broke out Saturday evening at an apartment complex in northwest Atlanta.
The fire is at the Bell Collier Village apartments on Howell Mill Road — just behind the United States Post Office.

They are fighting the fire in “defensive mode,” meaning they are fighting the fire from outside the building.
Multiple pets has already been rescued.
Atlanta News First cameras captured smoke billowing from the apartment building.
Crews do not know how many people have been displaced by the fire.

Ex Atlanta Falcons Fan Favorite WR Signs with San Francisco 49ers
![Ex Atlanta Falcons Fan Favorite WR Signs with San Francisco 49ers Ex Atlanta Falcons Fan Favorite WR Signs with San Francisco 49ers](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3910,h_2199,x_0,y_0/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/falcon_report/01j3tbgsehqadwe4ph39.jpg)
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Former Atlanta Falcons receiver Frank Darby has found a new home.
Darby, a sixth-round pick in 2021 who became a fan favorite due to his energy and infectious smile, has signed a one-year contract to join the San Francisco 49ers, ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported Saturday.
As a rookie, Darby played in 10 games, but was primarily used on special teams. He saw 126 snaps in the game’s third phase compared to just 20 on offense. He caught one pass for 14 on yards on four targets.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Darby took the field only five times in 2022 but received a significant uptick in offensive snaps, taking 54 reps. Still, he was targeted only once, making the catch for a 15-yard gain.
In training camp 2023, Darby appeared to take a step forward. Then-receivers coach T.J. Yates said he was coming into his own, and both Yates and teammate Mack Hollins referred to Darby as the “juice man.”
But Darby suffered a soft tissue injury in the Falcons’ preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins and was cut shortly thereafter. Still, his time in Atlanta wasn’t done – two months later, he returned to the team’s practice squad.
The former Arizona State University standout appeared in one game — a Week 10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals — and played 12 special teams snaps. He spent the remainder of the year on the practice squad.
Now in San Francisco, Darby rejoins former Sun Devil teammate Brandon Aiyuk in the 49ers’ receiver room. The Falcons, meanwhile, have a new-look receiving core around Drake London, with Darnell Mooney, Rondale Moore and Ray-Ray McCloud III among several fresh faces.
