The Giants, who drew 10 walks, converted four passes into runs to beat the Cardinals. 4-2. Willie Mays strolled on all four of his plate appearances. In the eighth, Mays walked, showed his old-time speed by racing to third on an infield out and crossed the plate on a sacrifice fly by Dick Dietz to score the 1,899th run of his career.
