Willie McCovey hit the 14th grand-slam homer of his career, tying Hank Aaron and the late Gil Hodges for the all-time N. L. lead as the Giants walloped the Dodgers, 9-3. Juan Marichal made his first start for the Giants since June 11 but was removed in the fifth inning when the Dodgers tied the score at 2-2.
