Gary Matthews hit two homers and drove in four runs to lead the Giants' batting in an 8-1 victory over the Phillies. Matthews started his slugging with a solo swat in the fourth and then connected for the circuit again with two men on base in the seventh. Jim Barr, who pitched the route for the Giants, had trouble in the fifth when the Phillies loaded the bases, but escaped with only one run scoring on a sacrifice fly by Garry Maddox.
