Hank Aaron accounted for two runs with a homer and single and Rowland Office produced two more with a single and triple to enable the Braves to defeat the Giants, 4-2. Aaron's homer off John Montefusco in the second inning was the superstar's 19th of the season and 732nd of his career. A walk to Carl Morton and singles by Office and Aaron added a run in the third. The Braves then posted the winning margin in the fourth on a pass to Vic Correll and their last two hits of the game -- a single by Craig Robinson and triple by Office. Dave Kingman homered for the Giants in their half of the fourth and the other run counted on singles by Tito Fuentes, Bobby Bonds and Gary Matthews in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
