Bobby Bonds and Garry Maddox hit homers and Dave Kingman drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to enable Jim Barr to pitch the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Braves. Barr gave up 10 hits, but the Braves scored only in the sixth inning when Mike Lum, Larvell Blanks and pinch-hitter Hank Aaron rapped successive singles. [The Sporting News]
