September 11 — Scott Garrelts had a rare bad start, giving up four runs and eight hits in eight innings, including home runs to the Braves’ Jeff Treadway and Tommy Gregg. After Atlanta went up 1-0 in the top of the first, the Giants scored their only run in the bottom half of the frame on a Will Clark RBI single. But Treadway hit a two-run shot in the third, and Gregg added a solo blast in the sixth.
