After winning the first game, 4-2, on a two-run homer by Dusty Baker in the ninth inning, the Braves collected only four hits off Mike Caldwell and Elias Sosa in the second game and lost to the Giants, 5-2. The Braves scored their initial run in the opener with a single by Craig Robinson, a stolen base and two infield outs in the third inning. The Giants came back with back-to-back homers by Gary Matthews and Chris Speier in the fourth before the Braves turned on their power. Mike Lum tied the score with a circuit clout in the seventh and, after Darrell Evans walked in nthe inth, Baker banged his game-winning blow.
