In a big night at bat, Darrell Evans hit a homer and triple in the first game and a grand slam in the second game as the Giants beat the Padres in a twi-night doubleheader, 7-6 and 8-7. Evans walked and scored in the first game, counted again after his triple when Marc Hill hit a sacrifice fly and then whacked his homer with a man on base in the eighth to provide the Giants' decisive blow. Gary Thomasson earlier had a three-run homer for the Giants in the second inning.
