Gilkey Leads Braves to Win
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Atlanta Braves powered past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 12-6, at Three Rivers Stadium. Bernard Gilkey was 4-5 with a triple, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3, to lead the charge. The first-place Braves, at 61-31, now lead their division by 5 games.

With Atlanta leading 2-1 in the top of the second, Gilkey hit a changeup from Eric King for a 2-run triple. It was his 3rd triple of the season and put the Braves ahead, 4-1.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Atlanta skipper Steve Haugh.
