SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants recorded their second walk-off win in as many days as Matt Chapman hit a walk-off, two-run home run to deliver a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves on Saturday afternoon at Oracle Park.

Chapman’s game-winning home run gave San Francisco its eighth walk-off win of the season, coming on the heels of Tyler Fitzgerald scoring the winning run on a wild pitch in the 10th inning on Friday.

Wilmer Flores gave the Giants a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run that barely cleared the left-field wall, his 11th home run of the season. Atlanta got that run right back in the top of the fifth inning when Michael Harris II sent a sinker from Webb into Atlanta’s bullpen, tying the game up at one apiece.

The Braves threatened to post a crooked number in the sixth when they loaded the bases against Webb, but Webb limited the damage to one run when Marcell Ozuna beat out a potential inning-ending double play. Still, Webb returned to the third-base dugout with the Giants trailing, 2-1. That score held until the bottom of the ninth.

 

Heliot Ramos singled with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to represent the tying run. Then, Chapman delivered the game-winner by clearing the left-field fences against the Braves’ Pierce Johnson.
