Dave Kingman singled in the 11th inning for his third hit of the game and drove in Gary Matthews to lift the Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Pirates, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. The Giants scored a run in the first on a single by Tito Fuentes and double by Gary Thomasson. Kingman made it 2-0 with a homer in the fourth.

The Pirates were checked until the eighth when Art Howe walked and scored on singles by Gene Clines and Rennie Stennett. Willie Stargell then tied the score with a homer in the ninth. Matthews set up the Giants' winning run with a single in 11th. Bruce Miller sacrificed and, after an intentional pass to Chris Speier, Kingman hit his single. [The Sporting News]
