Felix Millan cracked six straight hits, including a double and triple, and drove in four runs to pace the Braves to a 12-4 victory over the Giants. Millan started his big night with a single in the first inning and scored on a homer by Rico Carty. The second baseman tripled in the third and crossed the plate again on a single by Carty.

Millan batted in the run with a single in the fourth and drove in two more with another single in the fifth. After hitting a double in the seventh, Felix completed his batting spree with a run-scoring single in the eighth. The Giants counted their runs on homers by Dick Dietz and Willie Mays, each with a man on base. [The Sporting News]
