. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Ron Bryant won his first game since May 31 as the Giants snapped a tie in the ninth inning on Dave Kingman's RBI double and went on to defeat the Pirates, 5-3. A walk, sacrifice and Kingman's double broke a 3-3 tie, and Bryant drove home an insurance run with a two-out single to lock up only his third victory in 15 decisions.

Singles by Richie Zisk and Frank Taveras ahead of a two-out triple by losing pitcher Jim Rooker boosted the Pirates to a 2-0 lead in the second, but the Giants went ahead in fifth, 3-2, Garry Maddox driving in two with a single. The Pirates tied it in the home half of the inning on a walk, single by Rennie Stennett and sacrifice fly by Manny Sanguillen. [The Sporting News]
