SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants do not have the highest payroll or the most high-level talent on the roster, but no team in the league can claim to be more exciting than San Francisco right now.

Every game of late has come down to the last at-bat, and Sunday was no exception. The Giants entered the series finale against the Braves having played six consecutive one-run games, including walk-off wins the last two days.

“We’re resilient, and we knew this was going to be the base this year, and most any year here you’re going to play a lot of close games,” said Mike Yastrzemski after he drove in three runs. “This ballpark, it’s such a finicky place to hit that it becomes that scenario where you’re going to play one-run games.”

San Francisco continued the trend of piling up wins and giving its fans frayed nerves by gutting out a 4-3 victory. It was the first time the team has won five straight games by exactly one run since June 1998, and gave the Giants a MLB-high 16 one-run victories.

Manager Bob Melvin may not prefer that the wins come by such a slim margin, but he believes the team will benefit from these games in the long run.

“We’re battle tested, and this, going forward, has to be good for us,” Melvin said. “It’s not like we panic in these games, and with the bullpen doing what they do, we always feel like we have a good chance to win.”

The Giants endured an injury scare to a crucial player late in the game when third baseman Matt Chapman took several moments to get to his feet after being picked off first base in the eighth inning. He was seen shaking his right hand, but remained in the game.

Melvin said Chapman will undergo X-rays but that the team is optimistic the injury was not serious.

Landen Roupp entered the game pitching well, having allowed just one earned run over the right-hander’s past four starts.

Facing a decorated Braves lineup in front of a Hello Kitty-obsessed sellout crowd, he was roughed up early but was able to eventually settle into a groove down the stretch, going six innings and giving up three earned runs on 95 pitches. He improved to 4-4.

“I didn’t have my best stuff today, so it was important to mix, and I still think I kind of got into a rhythm with the curveball more today than I have in the past,” Roupp said.

Braves ace Spencer Strider also pitched six innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out five.

San Francisco gave the struggling Willy Adames the day off, with Casey Schmitt getting the start at shortstop.

The Braves got scored first. Former MVP Ronald Acuna walked to lead off the game, went to third on Austin Riley’s single and scored via Matt Olson fielder’s choice grounder.

Yastrzemski answered with a flyout to center field, which was hit deep enough to score Chapman and tie the score in the second inning. It was his first RBI since May 4.

Atlanta then tacked on two more runs in the third when Olson doubled to center, and the former Oakland Athletic moved to third on Roupp’s wild pitch.

In a duel of wily vets, Yastrzemski evened things up at 3-3 when he stroked a double that hugged the right-field foul line and scored both Chapman and Flores.

Tyler Fitzgerald gave the Giants the lead when his hard-hit ball was bobbled by Ozzie Albies at second base, allowing Yastrzemski to score from second with two outs.

Following Roupp’s strong start, the Giants turned to their bullpen of Ryan Walker, Randy Rodriguez and Camilo Doval to close out the win against a Braves team that has dropped six in a row. It continued the Giants’ winning streak that started with the team’s mid-week shakeup.

President of baseball operations Buster Posey designated longtime Giant LaMonte Wade Jr. for assignment and sent away two other vets, and brought in Dominic Smith and a couple of other players, providing a spark.

New-look San Francisco (38-28) pulled even with the rival Padres in the standings and will try to continue its winning ways on the road.

The Giants will enjoy an off day today, and then will see Kyle Harrison — whose alma mater De La Salle captured the NorCal Division I baseball title on Saturday — start their series opener in Colorado against the cellar-dwelling Rockies.

Wade traded to Angels

About an hour or so after the game, the Giants announced they traded Wade and cash considerations to the Los Angeles Angels for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

The 31-year-old first baseman was let go Wednesday amid that flurry of roster moves. In 50 games this season, the struggling Wade posted a .167/.275/.271 slash line with one home run.

Hello Kitty brings big crowd to Oracle Park

Thousands of fans formed sprawling lines around Oracle Park hours before the Giants faced the Braves on Sunday.

Many were hoping for a Giants sweep, but almost all were braving the crowds in hopes of being one of the first 15,000 fans to receive a special Hello Kitty jersey.

Hello Kitty is a Japanese girl mascot that has become popular both in other Asian countries and around the world, and her merchandise was certainly coveted before the Giants game that was expected to sell out the stadium with a capacity of 42,300.

A few hours before first pitch, the cheapest ticket on the ticketing app SeatGeek would cost a customer more than $100.

Tickets for the next home game, a June 17 showdown with Cleveland, were listed for just $19.

Among those packed together like passengers on a rush-hour train on the eastbound yellow BART line was Hung Pham and two of his children. Pham, a Sacramento resident, left the state capital at 7 a.m. in order to arrive in time.

“It kind of got hectic by the end of it, but once they started ushering people in, it was clear,” Pham said of the line to get in.

It was all worth it after the family made it through the mass of humanity and was able to nab the pink-and-white giveaway jersey.

“I really like it,” Pham’s young daughter, Emily, said while wearing the promotional item.

The Hello Kitty brand did not just appeal to young children.

Adriana Gomez and boyfriend Andy Vasquez made the trek from San Mateo to enjoy Hello Kitty Day.

“We lined up about two hours before the gates opened, but we’d say it was worth it,” said Vasquez, who was wearing a custom-made bracelet that spelled out ‘Giants.’ “And it did get a little bit crazy, but spending time together is nice.”

Fire at Oracle Park

Giants players had to briefly evacuate the stadium just before 11 a.m. after a food cart caught fire in the concourse behind home plate.

The players briefly stayed on the field during the evacuation, but the fire was put out after a few minutes and the game was unaffected.
