Chris Speier and Dave Rader hit homers for the Giants in support of Jim Barr, who yielded only four hits and defeated the Braves, 3-1, for his fifth straight victory. The Giants scored once in the first inning on a single by Tito Fuentes, double by Gary Thomasson and infield out by Ed Goodson before the Braves picked up their run in the fourth on a double by Darrell Evans and single by Dusty Baker. Speier broke the tie with his homer in the fourth and Rader provided an insurance run with his smash in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
