Another Heartbreaker in Extras 
The San Francisco Giants faced off against the Atlanta Braves and were handed a 4-3 loss in a nail-biting extra-inning game. Let's break it down.Early Struggles
In the top of the first, the Giants' defense managed to keep the Braves at bay. Jorge Soler walked to start the game, but Marcell Ozuna and Travis d'Arnaud both struck out to leave two runners stranded. Meanwhile, our own offense struggled as Heliot Ramos tripled but was left hanging when Michael Conforto struck out swinging.Giants Fight Back
The Braves jumped to an early lead with a homer from Ramon Laureano in the second inning and a score from Whit Merrifield following a double by Jorge Soler. But our Giants weren't going down without a fight! In the bottom of the second, Matt Chapman scored off a groundout by Patrick Bailey, making it 2-1.Keeping it Close
The third inning saw Tyler Fitzgerald stepping up big time with a massive 425-foot homer to left-center, keeping us in the game at 3-2. But both teams kept trading outs until the Braves' d'Arnaud scored again, extending their lead.Eighth-Inning Drama
The pivotal moment came in the bottom of the eighth. LaMonte Wade Jr. doubled, and following an error by the Braves' Austin Riley, he reached third. A wild pitch allowed Wade to score, tying the game at 3-3! The Giants fans in the stands were on their feet, but unfortunately, Mike Yastrzemski couldn't bring it home, ending the inning on a groundout.Extra-Inning Woes 
The game extended into the 10th inning, where the Braves squeaked ahead on a single by d'Arnaud, allowing pinch-runner Luke Williams to score. The Giants had their chance in the bottom half with Wade Jr. and Ramos but just couldn't convert.Looking Ahead
