Scoring four runs off Ken Holtzman's first seven pitches, the Giants went on to thump the Cubs, 7-2. Bill North led off with a homer and after Larry Herndon and Jack Clark singled, Mike Ivie also hit for the circuit. Clark drove in a run in the second stanza with a triple and blasted a homer in the fourth frame. Despite making 166 pitches, Bob Knepper went the distance for the fifth time this season.
