The Giants scored their initial run in the third inning on singles by Dave Rader, Garry Maddox and Tito Fuentes. McCovey hit his homers in the fourth and sixth. Thomasson's blow followed in the seventh. San Francisco Giants 5, Pittsburgh Pirates 3Game Played on Friday, August 17, 1973 (Night game) at Three Rivers StadiumGiants 0 0 1 1 0 1 2 0 0 - 5 11 0
