    Braves manager Brian Snitker liked what he saw from Jose Bautista, Atlanta's new third baseman.

    Even though the Braves' five-game winning streak was snapped, Snitker watched Bautista double off the wall in his first at-bat and cleanly handle his three chances in the field.

    "He made the plays," Snitker said, "and I thought he looked all right."

    Bautista doubled in his first at-bat of the season and Atlanta set a SunTrust Park attendance record in Ronald Acuna Jr.'s home debut, but the San Francisco Giants beat the Braves in a 9-4 victory on Friday night.
