The Pirates' inability to complete a double play enabled the Giants to gain a 2-1 victory behind the three-hit pitching of Juan Marichal. With the score tied, 1-1, Bobby Bonds doubled in the seventh inning and stopped at third on a single by Chris Speier.

Ken Henderson then tapped to Luke Walker, who tried for a twin-killing. The pitcher's throw to Gene Alley forced Speier, but Henderson beat the relay to first as Bonds scored. [The Sporting News]
