2021-08-30 05:11:29 GMT + 00: 00 – Ian Anderson returned from the injured list to throw 5 2/3 innings as the Atlanta Braves to a 9-0 win over the San on Sunday Francisco Giants drove in a first place fight that afternoon.
Anderson (6: 5) had not played since the All-Star break and was missing 39 games due to a shoulder infection. When he started his career against the Giants, he only allowed four hits and two walks. The Atlanta Bullpen only allowed one hit the rest of the way to secure the team’s 15th shutout of the season.
The Atlanta offensive led Anderson to an early 3-0 lead in the fourth inning. Jorge Soler struck a long solo shot into the second deck in left field for his 20th homer and seventh since joining the Braves. Austin Riley followed with a two-run shot for his 28th homer of the season and 14th since the All-Star Game.
Those runs came against San Francisco starter Anthony DeSclafani (11-6), who made his first start in eight games with a right ankle infection. The Braves have won 11 of their last 14 games while San Francisco ended up with nine straight wins.
Athletics 3, Yankees 1
Tony Kemp hemmed a two outs and two run home run to break an eighth inning tie when Oakland saved a split in his streak when he visited New York with a second straight win.
Each team had conceded an undeserved run before Mark Canha hit a double over the head of left field player Joey Gallo with two outs in the eighth. Kemp, who went in as a pinch hitter one inning earlier, then hit the next Chad Green (7-6) offer over the fence in right field for his fifth homer of the season.
The win was attributed to Deolis Guerra (2-1), who ended up scoreless in eighth place. Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery went 1-0 down after six innings after allowing six hits. He crossed out three without allowing a step.

Freddy Galvis drove three runs to help Philadelphia beat Arizona in the finals of their four-game series.
Jean Segura added two hits and scored two runs, and Bryce Harper and Rafael Marchan each contributed two hits for the Phillies, who won the last three games in the series.

Josh Bell recorded his sixth career multi-homer game, hitting a two-run homer against New York’s Tylor Megill (2-3) in the fourth and a solo shot in the eighth. Juan Soto also joined for a solo homer – and those homers represented all three of the Nationals’ hits.
Marlins 2, Red 1
Jesus Luzardo allowed only one hit in six scoreless innings and rookie Jesus Sanchez homered in the first inning for the second straight game, leading hosts Miami over Cincinnati.
For the Reds it was the second loss in a row. Cincinnati took just two hits from three Marlins pitchers, including a double from the game’s first batsman, Jonathan India.
