Ron Santo hit two homers to keep the Cubs in the game, but the Giants broke away and scored two runs in the 10th inning to gain a 4-2 victory. Willie McCovey led off the 10th with a single and Mike Phillips ran for him. After Dave Kingman struck out, Garry Maddox beat out an infield hit. Gary Thomasson singled to drive in Phillips and when right fielder Jose Cardenal threw wide of the plate for an error, Maddox also came around to score. [The Sporting News]
