Rookie lefthander Phil Nastu weathered solo homers by George Foster and Dan Driessen to pitch the Giants to a 3-2 defeat of the Reds. The Giants scored twice in the first. Jack Clark's double sent Terry Whitfield, who had reached on a fielder's choice, to third and left first base open for an intentional pass to Willie McCovey. Bill Madlock then singled home a pair.
