ATLANTA — Logan Webb recovered from a rough start in his latest strong performance at Truist Park as the San Francisco Giants beat Charlie Morton and the Atlanta Braves 4-2 on Thursday night.

Matt Chapman hit a go-ahead homer in the Giants’ three-run fourth inning and added a run-scoring double in the sixth. San Francisco took two of three games from the Braves for its third consecutive series win.

Webb (7-6) gave up two runs in the first but then threw six scoreless innings to improve to 3-0 over five career starts in Atlanta.

“It’s an awesome atmosphere, an awesome stadium,” Webb said.

Overall, he allowed two runs in seven innings.

“I feel like I was able to settle in,” Webb said before adding he was frustrated by his first-inning struggles. Entering the game, his 4.50 ERA in the first was more than a run higher than his 3.12 mark overall.

“I’ve got to figure something out about the first inning,” Webb said. “I don’t know what it is. I can’t tell you. I can’t keep giving up two or three runs every first inning.”
