5 Straight Wins for Giants
Louisiana Superdome was the site of an exciting ballgame between the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints.

The New York Giants beat the New Orleans Saints, 6-5, at Louisiana Superdome. Tony Estrada, in particular, was impressive. He was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. New York pitcher Alex Perez got the win, upping his record to 2-4. Mark Hicks got the loss. Joe Hager wrapped it up, recording his 9th save.

New York took a 6-3 lead on Estrada's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which he hit off Omar Gutierrez in the top of the eighth, propelled New York to the win.

"I believe in our guys," said New York skipper Walt Dierdorff. "I like the energy they're playing with."

New Orleans has now lost 4 straight.
