The wildness of Geoff Zahn, relieving in his first appearance of the season, enabled the Giants to score three runs in the 13th inning to defeat the Dodgers, 6-3. The Giants rapped Rick Rhoden for three runs in the second on a single by Gary Matthews, a stolen base, double by Ed Goodson, singles by Chris Speier and Steve Ontiveros and sacrifice fly by Marc Hill. Ron Cey homered in the Dodgers' half of the second and Willie Crawford drove in two runs with a double to tie the score in the sixth.

Zahn, after taking the mound in the 13th, walked Derrel Thomas. Bobby Murcer beat out a bunt. After a wild pitch, Matthews was passed intentionally to load the bases. Goodson then drew a walk from Zahn to force in the tie-breaking run and Speier followed with a single, driving in two runs, to insure the Giants' victory. [The Sporting News]
