Continuing their see-saw struggle, the Giants climbed back into sole possession of first place in the N. L. West by outlasting the Dodgers, 7-6, in a wild 11-inning contest. The game was 4-4 going into the top of the 10th when the Giants went ahead, 6-4, on a two-out, two-run pinch-single by Marc Hill. The Dodgers tied it in the bottom of the frame on a double play grounder by Joe Ferguson and bad-hop single by pinch-hitter Davey Lopes.
