Braves 9, Giants 8  (58-41)

In an amazing comeback the Braves scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game into extra frames and then Mantillia drew a bases loaded walk in the bottom of the tenth to win it.  Wes Covington had a big game and he went two for four with a homerun, three RBIs and two runs while Del Crandall went two for four with a solo homer.

Warran Spahn was roughed up for four runs in 4 2/3 innings a no decision.  Bob Trowbridge threw a shutout tenth inning and he improved to 4-3 on the season.
