After falling behind in the 10th inning, the Giants rallied for four runs to defeat the Phillies, 8-6. The Phillies went ahead in the top half, 6-4, with two runs on a double by Greg Luzinski, walk to Mike Anderson and double by Tim McCarver.

In the Giants' half, a pass to Willie Mays, single by Chris Arnold, a wild pitch and an infield out by Fran Healy produced one run. Chris Speier tripled to send Arnold home with the tying tally. After Tito Fuentes grounded out, Speier holding third, Bobby Bonds unloaded a homer to win the game. The Giants' earlier scoring included two homers by Dave Kingman. [The Sporting News]
