Braves Even With Giants After Home Win
San Francisco left fielder Kevin Mitchell pounded Atlanta Braves pitchers at Turner Field, but it was not enough to keep the Giants from falling, 7-5 in Game 2 of the League Championship Series. Mitchell hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice, though he couldn't prevent the Giants from slipping into a 1-1 tie in the best-of-7 series.

Mike Greenwell, who finished 3rd in the AL in hits with 192 in 1988, chipped in for Atlanta with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the second. For the game, the left fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Atlanta manager Braves GM.

Game 3 is scheduled for Thursday at 3Com Park. The scheduled starters for the game are John Smoltz for Atlanta and Mark Gubicza for San Francisco.
