NOTES
San Diego’s Greg Vaughn, who suffered a strained left thigh in Game 1, struck out on three pitches against Greg Maddux as a pinch-hitter in the ninth in his first action since being injured.
Manager Bruce Bochy indicated before Game 5 that Vaughn, who had 50 homers and 119 runs batted in, would probably start in Game 6.

Atlanta’s John Smoltz set a league championship series record by making his 12th career start. Because the Braves won, the record won’t last long.
That’s because teammate Tom Glavine will make the 12th league championship series start of his career in Game 6.
