5 Hits for Giants Rizzo
A jubilant Anthony Rizzo joined the postgame press conference at SunTrust Park today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Atlanta Braves pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the San Francisco Giants first baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led the Giants to a 16-1 win.

"He made it look easy," said Tyler Rumpel, manager of the Braves. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Anthony Rizzo singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, walked in the 4th, hit an RBI double in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

This season Rizzo has hit at a .256 clip and produced 68 runs batted in, 21 home runs and 83 runs.
