Since you asked for 7-zip or something similar, I am providing an alternative tool that was written for your exact use case.

The tartool utility is a free and open source tool built using the .NET SharpZipLib library.

Example commmand to extract a .tar.gz / .tgz - file,

C:\>TarTool.exe D:\sample.tar.gz ./
