The slugging of Willie McCovey helped Juan Marichal gain his first victory of the season as the Giants defeated the Mets, 11-7. McCovey homered with a man on base in the second inning and then capped a five-run outburst in the fourth by smashing his second grand-slam of the season and 12th of his career. Ken Henderson also homered for the Giants.

Marichal was hit hard in the first three innings, with the Mets scoring six runs on seven hits. Wayne Garrett and Donn Clendenon each homered with a man on base and Art Shamsky drove in two runs with a homer and double. However, Marichal settled down and allowed only three hits over the last six stanzas. Tommie Agee was stopped in five trips, snapping his 20-game hitting streak. [The Sporting News]
