Giants plate six in 2nd, take opener in Atlanta

After his offense erupted for six runs in the second inning, Giants right-hander Chris Stratton settled in and kept a hot Atlanta lineup at bay as San Francisco cruised to a 9-4 win over the Braves on Friday in front of a sellout crowd at SunTrust Park. Stratton allowed three runs on six hits with six strikeouts and two walks against the Braves, snapping their five-game win streak.
