A wild pickoff throw by Jerry Reuss resulted in the Giants scoring their deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Pirates. A single by Rennie Stennett, triple by Dave Parker and single by Bill Robinson gave the Pirates a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning, but the Giants tied the score with back-to-back homers by Bill Madlock and Jack Clark in the sixth.
