Ed Halicki and Gary Lavelle yielded only one hit apiece while pitching the Giants to a 5-0 victory over the Reds. Halicki was forced from the game after suffering a bruised back in a home-plate collision with Bill Plummer in the fourth inning. The Giants' attack on loser Fred Norman included homers by Gary Thomasson and Chris Speier. Pete Rose doubled off Halicki in the first and Cesar Geronimo singled off Lavelle in the fifth for the Reds' safeties. [The Sporting News]
