Ron Bryant yielded only two hits and pitched the Giants to a 6-1 victory over the Mets. Willie McCovey homered to start the Giants' scoring in the second inning. John Milner and Bud Harrelson collided going after a fly by Chris Speier in the third and the ball fell for double, two runs scoring. Milner was forced to leave the game. Duffy Dyer, going into the outfield as Milner's replacement, dropped a fly by Speier in the seventh, allowing two runs to score. [The Sporting News]
