Staked to a three-run lead on a homer by Willie McCovey in the first inning, Juan Marichal pitched the Giants to an 11-2 victory over the Phillies. Garry Maddox singled and Bobby Bonds was hit by a pitch ahead of McCovey's blow off Wayne Twitchell. The Giants iced the game with six runs in the sixth inning, two scoring on a triple by Tito Fuentes. Bob Boone hit a double and homer for the Phillies and scored both their runs.
