Wednesday August 12, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
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]
