Ron Bryant, who spent the early part of the season in the Giants' bullpen, made his fifth start and gained his first victory since May 30 by defeating the Cardinals, 5-2. The lefthander gave up the Cards' runs in the first inning and then breezed until the eighth when Jerry Johnson took over to stifle a Redbird threat. Hal Lanier batted in two runs with a pair of singles for the Giants, who also picked up an unearned marker in going ahead, 3-2. The clinching pair scored in the seventh on a single by Willie McCovey, triple by Ken Henderson and sacrifice fly by Jim Ray Hart. [The Sporting News]
