Willie McCovey, who had belted three-run homer in the first, drove home the deciding run with an infield out in the seventh as the Padres edged the Giants, 7-6. Dave Tomlin, who relieved San Diego starter Joe McIntosh in the second, when the Giants scored five to take a 6-3 lead, hurled one-hit ball for the next 5 2/3 innings to gain the victory.

The Giants led 6-4 in the bottom of the seventh when pinch-hitter Randy Hundley drew a walk. Johnny Grubb singled and Tito Fuentes plated both runners with a double to tie the score. Bobby Tolan sacrificed Fuentes to third, from where he scored the winning run on McCovey's slow bounder to second. [The Sporting News]
