The last time the Giants played at Turner Field, theytook advantage of potent pitching, opportune hitting and a shoddyBraves defense to win round one on their thoroughfare to thechampionship. A deja vu evening was in the making Monday at Turner Field, atleast until Brian Wilson arrived in the ninth inning. Wilson,virtually perfect in the postseason, wasn't this time. He coughedup three runs, and the Giants lost 5-4 in the opener of afour-game series on Freddie Freeman's two-run single. In the first inning, Pablo Sandoval fouled a Tim Hudson pitchoff the inside of his right foot and exited, and manager BruceBochy said the third baseman will miss a game or two. X-rays werenegative, and nobody thought Sandoval would need to go on thedisabled list, which already is full of key players
