Willie McCovey drove in two runs with a homer and added two with a bases-loaded single to pace the Giants to an 8-3 victory over the Dodgers. McCovey homered after a walk to Willie Mays in the fifth and rapped his single in the sixth. The Giants added two more runs in the seventh and a final pair in eighth on a single by Mays, McCovey's third walk of the game and a triple by Ken Henderson.
