The largest crowd in San Francisco history. 56,103, turned out on Jacket Day and watched the Giants defeat the Dodgers, 6-5, with the aid of a grand slam by pinch-hitter Mike Ivie. The Dodgers took a 3-0 lead before the Giants rallied for five runs in the sixth inning.

After Darrell Evans drove in one run with a single, Ivie came up as a pinch-hitter for Vic Harris and hit his bases-loaded homer off Don Sutton. The Dodgers pulled even with a two-run drive by Reggie Smith in the seventh, but Terry Whitfield rapped his third double and fourth hit of the game in the Giants' half and scored the winning run on a single by Evans.
