Garry Maddox collected a homer, double and two singles and drove in three runs to lead the Giants' 19-hit attack in a 14-3 victory over the Braves. In addition to scoring on his round-tripper, Maddox crossed the plate three other times. Dave Kingman and Gary Matthews also homered for the Giants, each with a man on base. [The Sporting News]
