Mallex Smith hit a three-run triple in the second inning, Mike Foltynewicz continued his recent upswing by allowing only three hits and one run in six-plus innings and the Atlanta Braves beat Jeff Samardzija and the San Francisco Giants 5-3 on Monday. The Braves survived San Francisco’s two-run, ninth-inning rally. They have won three of four and are now 5-21 at home, still easily the worst in the majors.
