The Giants rallied for four runs in the seventh inning and defeated the Dodgers, 7-6. Mike Marshall, appearing in his seventh consecutive game, was the loser in relief after a walk to Bobby Bonds and singles by Garry Maddox and Steve Ontiveros produced the first run in the rally and chased Andy Messersmith. Gary Matthews beat out an infield hit against Marshall to load the bases. Dave Kingman popped a single into short right field, scoring one run. Another counted on a forceout by Chris Speier before Dave Rader singled to drive in what proved to be the winning marker. The Giants' earlier runs included a homer by Kingman. Steve Garvey hit two for the Dodgers and drove in three runs. [The Sporting News]
