A sweep would have gotten the San Francisco Giants out of the cellar, but they could only manage wins in two of three games against the poor-performing Atlanta Braves in this 1984 Community Replay Project series.
The Giants’ Rob Deer, making his season debut, batted 6-for-10 (.600) with four home runs., while Dan Gladden hit .467 (7-for-15). Dale Murphy also batted 7-for-15 (.467) to lead the Braves.
