Helped by Willie Mays, who collected three hits in four trips, Don Carrithers received credit for his first major league victory when the Giants defeated the Cubs, 6-3. Carrithers, in relief of Ron Bryant, yielded only three hits in 6 1/3 innings before giving way to Don McMahon in the ninth. Willie Mays, who tripled and scored one of the Giants' first three runs, broke a 3-3 tie with a single in the sixth, driving in Ron Hunt, who had doubled. Bobby Bonds homered in the eighth as the Giants beat Bill Hands for the sixth straight time. [The Sporting News] |
