Falcone Stars As Giants Top Braves In Eight Inning Shutout
Brooklyn native Pete Falcone earned his third win in four decisions by limiting Atlanta to two hits over eight innings.

In the NL, Cincinnati beat San Diego 7-3 and Pittsburgh defeated the Mets 2-1 while Montreal pummeled Chicago 9-4 and Los Angeles beat Houston 3-1. St Louis rain delayed.
