While Jim Barr was pitching a shutout, Willie McCovey and Tim Foli hit homers to lead the Giants' attack in a 7-0 victory over the Phillies. McCovey homered after a triple by Jack Clark in the second inning and accounted for his third RBI with an infield out in the third. Foli hit his homer in the fourth. Barr's shutout was his second straight, following a 3-0 victory over the Expos July 24. [The Sporting News]
