A five-run, first-inning explosion propelled the Giants to a 7-4 victory over the Reds. Bill North, Joe Strain, Mike Ivie and Darrell Evans all singled to account for the first two runs. Ivie scored on a wild pitch and Larry Herndon drew a walk before Roger Metzger drilled a triple to make the score 5-0.
