Gary Thomasson hit first the grand slam of his major league career and Marc Hill smashed a two-run homer, but those blows were not enough for the Giants, who succumbed to the Phillies, 9-6. Held to one hit by Ed Halicki in the first five innings, the Phillies exploded for eight runs in the sixth.

Halicki gave up five runs before departing with a man on base. Reliever Charlie Williams, as the loser, loaded the bases with a single by Ted Sizemore and pass to Tommy Hutton. When John Curtis took over, Jerry Martin batted for Bake McBride, who had tripled earlier in the inning, and also tripled to clear the bases. [The Sporting News]
