Giants Beat Braves on Short Rest

With more than 13 hours off between games, San Francisco Manager Felipe Alou didn’t shy away from sending his old guys out there with little rest.

And the veterans showed they still have some life in those legs.

Omar Vizquel went four for four with five runs batted in and Moises Alou hit a two-run homer to help Jamey Wright beat Atlanta, 12-6, Saturday in his San Francisco debut.

Barry Bonds reached base three times and made two running grabs in the outfield and Steve Finley had two hits and two runs for the Giants, who knocked Tim Hudson around for eight runs.

Bonds went one for three with two walks, remaining stuck on 708 career home runs. He is two for 10 with five walks and no RBIs through the Giants’ first five games.

The starting outfield of Bonds (41 years old), Finley (41) and Alou (39) was the oldest ever -- average age 40 years, 309 days -- and the three combined to go five for 12 with three walks, four runs and three RBIs.

Throw in the 38-year-old Vizquel, who combined with 38-year-old second baseman Jose Vizcaino on three of San Francisco’s four double plays, and it was a good day all around for the aging Giants, who lost, 14-6, Friday to the Braves in a rain-delayed game that finished at 11:59 p.m.

In that game, Ryan Langerhans hit a two-run homer and drove in five runs for the Braves.

Jeff Francoeur got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score the go-ahead run in the seventh, when Langerhans added a two-run single. Mike Remlinger (1-0) got two outs in the sixth for the win in a game that started 1 hour 46 minutes late because of rain.
