He then walked Jerry Royster, forcing in a run. Bonnell then greeted reliever Randy Moffitt with a shot down the left field line to trim the margin to 10-9, but the Braves’ comeback ended there. The Giants went to relief star Gary Lavelle for the final in ning, and he retired three of four batters, gaining his sev enth save. “He’s doing a fine job but we’re gonna have to depend on the other guys in our bullpen too,” Altobelli said.
