ATLANTA—Jorge Soler and LaMonte Wade Jr. hit back-to-back home runs to help the San Francisco Giants open a six-game road trip with a 5–3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

Heliot Ramos also went deep as San Francisco won for the sixth time in its past eight games. Mike Yastrzemski went 2 for 2 in his return from a stay on the injured list because of a strained left oblique.
