Mike Ivie, who entered the game after Willie McCovey was hurt in the second inning, drove in three runs with a sacrifice fly and a double to pace the Giants to a 7-6 victory over the Cardinals. McCovey suffered a cut upper lip and two chipped teeth in a collision with Bill Madlock when both were going after a pop fly by Jerry Morales.

With the score tied, 4-4, Madlock singled in the seventh and stole second. The Cards passed Darrell Evans intentionally to get at Ivie, who wrecked the move with his double, driving in Madlock and Evans. Jack Clark followed with a triple to add what proved to be the Giants' winning run. [The Sporting News]
