| A sacrifice fly by Gary Thomasson in the sixth inning drove in Darrell Evans and lifted the Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Braves. Evans opened the stanza with a single and advanced on a sacrifice by Ken Reitz. After stopping at third on a single by Chris Speier, Evans scored the deciding run on Thomasson's fly to center field.
