Back-to-back homers by Dave Rader and Steve Ontiveros in the seventh inning powered the Giants to a 4-2 victory in the first game of a doubleheader, but the Reds came back to gain a split by winning the second game, 8-3. Joe Morgan stole four bases in the lidlifter, including a theft of home in the sixth to give the Reds a 2-1 lead. The Giants tied the score in their half with a triple by Derrel Thomas and sacrifice fly by Bobby Murcer before Rader and Ontiveros rapped Gary Nolan for their round-trippers in the seventh.
