Tuesday August 4, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The slugging of Dick Dietz, Willie McCovey and Willie Mays powered the Giants to an 11-4 victory over the Dodgers. Don Sutton, who started for the Dodgers, struck out the first two batters but then was victimized for five runs. Mays was hit by a pitch and McCovey followed with a homer. After a pass to Ken Henderson and single by Jim Ray Hart, Dietz also hit for the circuit. Dietz picked up his fourth RBI of the game with a sacrifice fly in the third and Mays homered with a man on base in the fourth. Juan Marichal lasted the distance, although tagged for 12 hits, including homers by Billy Grabarkewitz and Bill Sudakis. [The Sporting News]
