Bird, Braves Hammer Giants
The Atlanta Braves relied on the hitting of first baseman Greg Bird to stop the San Francisco Giants, 12-2. For the game, Bird went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 4. Reliever Kris Medlen picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Trevor Williams took the loss. Their 56-89 record puts the Braves last in the National League East Division.

Bird had a big at-bat with runners on 1st and 3rd in the top of the first inning, when he hit a 3-run home run. The Braves went on to win.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Bird.
