Reserve outfielder Brian Asselstine, filling in for Gary Matthews, smashed a homer in the fourth inning to ignite a three-run outburst that enabled the Braves to defeat the Giants, 3-2. After Asselstine's blow, Darrel Chaney singled. Rod Gilbreath doubled and when Terry Whitfield made a wild throw from the outfield, Chaney scored.
