A homer by Willie McCovey with two men on base was the Giants' big blow in a 5-3 victory over the Cubs. Bob Heise singled in the third inning and Frank Johnson walked before Willie Mays rapped a two-out single to drive in the Giants' first run. McCovey then smashed his homer.

Jack Hiatt batted in two of the Cubs' runs with a double in the sixth. Ron Santo doubled and Willie Smith singled for the other Cubs' run in the eighth, but the Giants added an insurance counter in the ninth on singles by Tito Fuentes and Johnson, around a sacrifice. [The Sporting News]
