Willie McCovey, who had struck out on his first four trips to the plate, smashed a homer with a man on base in the 10th inning to carry the Giants to an 11-9 victory over the Astros. Denis Menke and Jim Wynn hit homers for the Astros, Menke connecting with a man on base in the first inning. Tito Fuentes homered to give the Giants a 7-6 lead in the seventh, but Wynn's wallop sparked a three-run outburst by the Astros in their half.
