Giants Suffer 5-3 Home Defeat
Atlanta pitcher Phil Niekro did his part in helping his team beat the San Francisco Giants, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. In 7 innings, Niekro surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. The save went to Gene Garber, number 1 for him.

Atlanta went up, 5-2, on Rafael Furcal's 2nd home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Furcal hit in the top of the eighth, left San Francisco pitcher Christy Mathewson shaking his head.

"Phil did a good job keeping the game under control," said Atlanta manager .

Atlanta bumps their record to 21-19 with the win.
