Capping a five-run outburst, Bob Horner homered with two men on base in the seventh inning as the Braves defeated the Giants, 7-3. Doubles by Bruce Benedict and Mike Lum accounted for the first run, tying the score at 3-3.

A single by Gary Matthews drove in pinch-runner Jerry Royster and sent the Braves ahead. After a ground-rule double by Chris Chambliss, holding Matthews at third, Horner hammered his homer. [The Sporting News]
