Garry Maddox, whose bad throw from the outfield resulted in a 1-0 defeat for the Giants in the previous night's game, made amends for his error with a three-run homer to beat the Dodgers, 4-2. The Dodgers took a 1-0 lead on a circuit clout by Joe Ferguson in the second inning, but Tito Fuentes singled for the Giants in the fourth and, after a forceout by Chris Speier, Dave Kingman walked to set the stage for Maddox' homer.
