| Breaking their eight-game losing streak, the Giants whitewashed the Phillies, 7-0, behind the five-hit hurling of Bob Knepper. The Giants picked up three runs in the third inning when John Tamargo reached second base on a double error by Pete Rose, Roger Metzger smashed a triple and Terry Whitfield followed with an inside-the-park homer. Whitfield also drove in a run with a single in the sixth. [The Sporting News] |
