The Giants erupted for four runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Reds, 6-2. The Reds held a 2-1 lead going into the seventh when Ed Goodson doubled to chase Tom Hall. Pedro Borbon, relieving, retired Chris Speier, but Gary Thomasson tripled to tie the score.

Dave Rader welcomed the arrival of Dave Tomlin with a double to send the Giants ahead. After a sacrifice by Tom Bradley and pass to Gary Matthews, Chris Arnold singled off Clay Carroll to score Rader and when Bobby Tolan failed to pick up the ball cleanly in the outfield, Matthews also raced home with the Giants' final run.
