Darrell Evans went 3-for-4 and drove in three runs to help Vida Blue gain his fifth straight victory as the Giants defeated the Pirates, 5-2. Evans, Willie McCovey and Larry Herndon each accounted for an RBI with a single in the first inning and Evans then capped the Giants' scoring with a two-run homer in the fifth. [The Sporting News]
