Rockies 13, Braves 4
DENVER -- Luis Gonzalez hit a three-run homer and Colorado took advantage of seven errors by Atlanta -- including four by third baseman Mark DeRosa.

The Korean-born right-hander entered the game with a streak of 112/3 scoreless innings, all in relief.

Torrealba, the Giants' backup catcher, had three hits in San Francisco's third straight victory over Florida. Bonds, who spent the early part of the day recuperating from minor sinus problems, drew a leadoff walk and advanced to second on Brian Dallimore's single off Matt Perisho (2-2). Torrealba drove a double off the wall in left-center, and Bonds jogged home. Tyler Walker (2-0) got his second victory in three days. He struck out Mike Lowell with two runners on in the 10th, then pitched a hitless 11th.
