Jeff Burroughs drove in four runs with a homer and double and Bob Horner contributed three RBIs as the Braves enjoyed a 13-4 rout of the Astros. With the game tied, 2-2, and two out in the fifth inning, Atlanta tallied five runs -- two on a single by Horner and three on Burrough's round-tripper.

The Braves sent 10 batters to the plate in the sixth and scored six more times as Chris Chambliss, Gary Matthews and Horner delivered run-scoring singles, Burroughs bashed an RBI double and Bruce Benedict hit a two-run single. [The Sporting News]
