Two rookies, John Montefusco and Pete Falcone, pitched the Giants to 5-0 and 4-2 victories in a doubleheader with the Braves. Montefusco, who had a 3-2 record with the Giants late last season, but still is rated as a rookie, pitched for the first time in 19 days after injuring a finger in spring training. The young righthander allowed only four hits. The Giants were led by Gary Matthews, who rapped three hits including a homer. Garry Maddox drove in two runs with a double.
