SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Kyle Wright earned his major league-leading 18th victory and the Atlanta Braves beat the San Francisco Giants 5-1 to gain ground on the first-place New York Mets in the NL East. Wright had four strikeouts as he won his fifth straight decision. Dansby Swanson hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the third and Michael Harris II added an RBI single later that inning to support Wright. Robbie Grossman drove in a run on a groundout for Atlanta, which moved within a half-game of the Mets in the division race. Atlanta snapped a season-long three-game losing streak.
