A five-run explosion in the sixth inning propelled the Giants to a 7-3 victory over the Cubs, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. The Giants loaded the bases on singles by Tito Fuentes, Al Gallagher and Ron Bryant to start their outburst and scored on a sacrifice fly by Bobby Bonds, single by Hal Lanier, bases-loaded walk to Willie McCovey and single by Ken Henderson.
