Hot-hitting Ken Henderson smashed two homers and two singles to lead the Giants' attack in an 11-2 victory over the Cubs. Henderson hit a wasted single in the first inning, but then homered with two men on base in the third, added a solo swat in the fifth and accounted for his fifth RBI of the game with a single in the sixth.
