Willie Mays singled in the second inning for the 3,000th hit of his major league career and added another single in the sixth to provide historical significance to the Giants' 10-1 victory over the Expos. Mays walked in the first inning when the Giants scored five runs. After Willie's single in the second, the game was stopped briefly for congratulatory ceremonies in which Hall of Famer Stan Musial, also a member of the 3,000-Hit Club, participated.

When the game resumed, Mays took his place on base and scored on a double by Willie McCovey. The Giants' superstar drove in a run with his second single in the sixth before leaving the game. Gaylord Perry, who pitched a four-hitter to beat the Expos, joined in the Giants' attack with a homer and a double. Perry also tied a major league fielding record for pitchers with five putouts in the game. [The Sporting News]
