The San Francisco Giants secured their fourth consecutive win on Thursday night, defeating the Atlanta Braves by a score of 5 to 2. A standout performance came from pitcher Barry Zito, who held the Braves scoreless on just three hits through the first eight innings. Offensively, the Giants were powered by a four-run outburst in the fifth inning, highlighted by Hector Sanchez's two-run double.
