| Bob Knepper yielded only six hits, four of the infield variety, and pitched the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the Reds. An infield hit by Sam Mejias and double by Ken Griffey accounted for the Reds' run in the third inning and tied the score at 1-1. The Giants then got their winning run when Mike Ivie singled and Jack Clark tripled in the fourth. [The Sporting News] |
