Willie Mays batted in two runs and scored three to enable Juan Marichal to gain his first victory since June 14 as the Giants defeated the Expos, 6-2. Mays plated Bobby Bonds with a single in the first inning. After hitting another single in the sixth, Mays stole second and scored on a double by Ron Hunt. The Giants' superstar added his third single for an RBI in the seventh and crossed the plate on a double by Willie McCovey. Mays then capped his day by drawing a walk in the ninth and coming home on a triple by McCovey. [The Sporting News]
