Steve Garvey homered with a man on base and Maury Wills drove in two more runs with a homer and single to lead the Dodgers to a 5-2 victory over the Giants. Garvey's homer followed a double by Dick Allen in the second inning. Wills' homer in the sixth was his second in two nights but only the 20th of his 13-year major league career.

In the seventh, Wes Parker doubled and Tom Haller walked. Wills singled, scoring Parker, and Haller also crossed the plate when Ken Henderson let the ball get past him down the left field line. [The Sporting News]
