After catcher Dave Rader made an unassisted double play to kill off a Braves' rally in the 11th inning, Bobby Bonds homered in the Giants' half to account for a 4-3 victory. The Braves' threat developed when Sonny Jackson singled and Johnny Oates was safe on an error by Tito Fuentes. Tom House, attempting to sacrifice, lifted a little pop fly.
