The Giants, after building up a 5-0 lead, survived a grand-slam homer by Ron Fairly and defeated the Cardinals, 6-4. The Giants scored their first four runs off Bob Gibson, including a homer by Bobby Murcer with a man on base. Ron Bryant, replacing Gibson, gave up his former teammates' decisive run on singles by Gary Thomasson, Steve Ontiveros and Dave Rader in the fifth inning. In the Cards' sixth, Luis Melendez singled and Ted Simmons and Buddy Bradford walked to load the bases for Fairly's smash off Pete Falcone.
