Braves bid to stop skid vs. Giants

The Atlanta Braves and host San Francisco Giants are looking for the comfort of a merry-go-round when they continue their series on Saturday night, one day after a heart-pounding roller-coaster ride in their opener.

The clubs combined to use 38 players in the Giants' 6-5 win in 11 innings Fridayin a battle of division leaders. The game was decided after pitcher Kevin Gausman delivered his first career sacrifice fly to end a back-and-forth game that featured five homers -- including two big ones in the ninth inning.

Gausman was batting because Giants manager Gabe Kapler had exhausted all of his position players on the bench.
