The Giants ended their seven-game losing streak when pinch-hitter Terry Whitfield drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the seventh inning to beat the Cubs, 8-6. There were six homers in the game -- one each by Mike Ivie, Jack Clark and Willie McCovey for the Giants and one by Dave Kingman and two by Jerry Martin for the Cubs.

With the score tied, 5-5, Clark walked in the Giants' seventh, Bill Madlock singled and Whitfield drove them home with a single to pin Dick Tidrow with his first N. L. loss since coming over from the Yankees. [The Sporting News]
