The Giants sent the Mets reeling to their ninth straight loss, defeating them, 4-1. The game was tied, 1-1, going into the bottom of the sixth when Joe Morgan singled, stole second and scored on a single by Darrell Evans.

The Giants added a pair of insurance tallies in the seventh on a triple by Jerry Martin, double by Milt May and sacrifice squeeze bunt by winning pitcher Al Holland. Greg Minton, who relieved in the ninth, notched his eighth save. [The Sporting News]
