Bobby Bonds raced home from second base on a throwing error by Bill Russell in the 10th inning to bring the Giants a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Bonds walked and advanced on a sacrifice by Tito Fuentes. After an intentional pass to Chris Speier and pop-up by Ken Henderson, Jim Ray Hart grounded to Russell, who threw high over first base.

Earlier in the game, Hart homered for the Giants and Frank Robinson hit one for the Dodgers. Robinson's blow was the 521st of his career, tying him with Ted Williams for seventh place on the major leagues' all-time list. [The Sporting News]
