| Willie McCovey, Darrell Evans and Gary Thomasson drove in 10 runs between them and Bob Knepper pitched a five-hitter as the Giants shelled the Braves, 12-2, before a sparse crowd of 877. McCovey batted in the Giants' initial run with a single in the first inning and homered with two men on base in the third. Evans rapped two doubles to account for three RBIs and Thomasson also drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and homer. [The Sporting News] |
