Bobby Murcer homered with a man on base in the first inning and Willie Montanez batted in two runs with a single in the third to lead the Giants to a 5-2 victory over the Cardinals. After Murcer hit his round-tripper behind a single by Derrel Thomas, the Cards picked up their runs on doubles by Lou Brock, Willie Davis and Ted Simmons in the third before the Giants came back with a pair on a bases-loaded single by Montanez. Lynn McGlothen and Mike Garman, who pitched for the Cardinals, walked nine batters, six of them intentionally. Dave Rader drew four straight passes, three of them intentional. [The Sporting News]
