The Giants ended their five-game losing streak when a single by Larry Herndon in the eighth inning for his third hit of the game led to a 6-5 victory over the Reds. After Herndon's single, Derrel Thomas bunted safely and when Will McEnaney threw wildly to first, Herndon reached third on the play. Gary Matthews followed with a long sacrifice fly, scoring Herndon, to break the 5-5 tie.
