Consecutive doubles by Darrell Evans and Jack Clark in the sixth inning drove in the tying and winning runs to give the Giants a 3-2 victory in a sweep of the three-game series with the Pirates. Clark homered for the Giants' initial run in the second. After the Pirates took a 2-1 lead, Rob Andrews singled, Evans hit a pop fly that fell for a double and Clark followed with another two-bagger on a line drive misjudged by Al Oliver in center field.
