After Juan Marichal posted a 6-3 victory in the first game, the Giants also won the second game of a doubleheader with the Reds, 4-3, by coming from behind with three runs, two of them unearned, in the seventh inning. Bobby Bonds homered for the Giants in the first inning of the lidlifter and another run followed on singles by Tito Fuentes and Willie Mays, plus a sacrifice fly by Willie McCovey. These were the only hits off Gary Nolan, who also yielded an unearned run in the third, before the Reds' starter was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the seventh when the Cincy crew rallied for two runs. The Giants then clinched their victory against Jim Maloney in the eighth on a homer by McCovey, a walk, a single by Ken Henderson and a two-run double by Hal Lanier. Darrel Chaney homered for the Reds in the ninth.

An error by Chaney led to a loss in the nightcap. With the Reds leading, 3-1, the Giants loaded the bases in the seventh. Fuentes then hit a smash at Chaney and was credited with an infield hit, one run scoring, and when the second baseman followed with a wild throw to the plate, the Giants counted the tying and winning runs.
