Game Notes

Braves rally to show signs of life with a 5-4 win over the Giants in 11 innings.

Rick Ankiel leads off the top of the 11th with a solo HR to put Atlanta over the top after rallying from a 4-0 deficit after 2 innings. San Francisco had jumped in front with Pat Burrell's 3-run HR in the 1st, and ups the lead to 4-0 on an RBI single by Matt Cain in the 2nd.

The lead appears safe, holding at 4-1 going into the 8th. However, a throwing error by Pablo Sandoval allows the Braves to score 1 run, and then Alex Gonzalez doubles home 2 runs to tie it. The bullpens maintain the deadlock until Ankiel takes Ramon Ramirez deep to start the 11th.
