Power, pitching lead Giants past Braves 2-1

Atlanta -- Michael Morse was one of the last players to emerge in what had been a lively clubhouse after Friday night's 2-1 victory, which was provided by his tie-breaking homer in the sixth inning.

When someone asked where Morse was, Jeremy Affeldt said with a straight face, "He's lifting, so he can hit them farther."

Actually, Morse helped lift the Giants to their seventh win in eight games with a rare fence-scraper, a high flyball down the right-field line that Jason Heyward thought he might catch if he climbed the fence high enough.

A reporter suggested it looked like a pop-up off the bat, to which manager Bruce Bochy said, "He's got a little different pop-up than the rest of us."

For Morse and the Giants, May started the way much of April went. The Giants won a one-run game with good pitching and their 35th and 36th home runs.
