22,423 fans watched an exciting game at Pro Player Stadium. The San Francisco
Giants topped the Oakland A's by the slimmest of margins, 8 to 7.

San Francisco came through with the game-winning runs in the 8th inning with 2
runs. After two outs Barry Bonds began the rally when he drew a walk. Jeff
Kent followed and he doubled, and an error was also committed, scoring two
baserunners. The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5
times.

Robb Nen(2-5) went 2 innings allowing no runs for the victory. Kris
Wilson(0-4) absorbed the loss in relief. He was pinned with the loss despite
not allowing an earned run in his 1 and 1/3 innings of work.
