Don McMahon pitched two scoreless innings in each end of a doubleheader, winning the first game and saving the second, as the Giants beat the Braves, 6-4 and 4-3, with the opener being decided in the 10th when Al Gallagher smashed a homer with a man on base. Willie McCovey also homered for the Giants in the second inning of the curtain-raiser and Bob Heise drove in two runs with a double, but the Braves came back to take a 4-3 lead with the aid of a circuit clout by Hal King. The Giants pulled even in the seventh when Bobby Bonds doubled and Ken Henderson singled. Henderson also singled in the 10th ahead of Gallagher's winning homer.

Frank Johnson batted in three runs for the Giants in the nightcap with a single and triple. Orlando Cepeda hit a homer for the Braves, who went down to their seventh straight defeat. [The Sporting News]
