Jim Barr allowed eight hits, but became only the second hurler to shut out St. Louis this season as the Giants prevailed, 3-0. Gary Thomasson's infield single with the bases loaded in the third produced the first Giant run off loser John Curtis. Barr drew a one-out walk in the seventh, moved to third on Bobby Bonds' double to right center and scored on a wild pitch by Curtis. Thomasson drove in the final run of the game with a single to left. St. Louis, which outhit the Giants, 8-7, left 11 runners stranded, eight of them in the first four innings. [The Sporting News]
