Led by Dave Kingman, who hit two homers including a grand slam, the Giants outslugged the Dodgers, 9-8. Bobby Bonds walked and Tito Fuentes and Ed Goodson singled in the third inning to load the bases for Kingman's slam. Bernie Williams followed with another homer to put the Giants ahead, 6-2. The Dodgers rallied for two in their half and tied the score when Willie Davis hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Kingman broke the deadlock with his second homer of the game in the sixth and, after Chris Speier doubled, Ken Henderson also hit for the circuit to enable the Giants to withstand a two-run rally by the Dodgers in the ninth inning.
