Willie McCovey doubled for the 2,000th hit of his career and also smashed his 489th homer to lead the Giants to a 6-3 victory over the Reds. McCovey drove in two runs with his double in the first inning and added two more with his homer in the third. The circuit clout was the veteran slugger's 24th of the season. Ed Halicki, who went 5 2/3 innings to gain the victory, chipped in with his first homer of the year. The Reds had round-trippers by George Foster, his 46th of the season, and Joe Morgan, who hit his 22nd.
