Coming back after absorbing a 19-3 defeat in the previous night's game, the Giants walloped the Dodgers, 11-3, with a 13-hit attack that included homers by Willie Mays, Bob Taylor and Frank Johnson. Juan Marichal, after pitching shutout ball over the first seven innings, weakened in the last two frames, but had a big enough lead to last the distance.

Taylor's homer was the first of his major league career, while Mays' blow was his 612th. Johnson's blast came with two men on base. Tito Fuentes drove in three runs for the Giants with a double and a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
