Terry Whitfield collected six hits in seven trips in a doubleheader as the Giants defeated the Mets, 11-4 and 9-4. Whitfield entered the opener as a pinch-hitter and delivered a single to drive in two of the Giants' five runs in the sixth inning. After remaining in the game in left field and adding a single on his subsequent time at bat, Whitfield started the nightcap and had four hits in five trips, including a run-scoring single that broke a 4-4 tie in the sixth inning.
