Homers by Jack Clark and Jeff Leonard helped power the Giants to a 5-2 victory over the Reds. Clark drilled a two-run shot to snap a 1-1 tie in the sixth inning, and Leonard cracked a solo clout in the second stanza and added a three-bagger in the eighth.

Milt May delivered run-scoring singles in the sixth and eighth. Doyle Alexander pitched the first eight innings to get the win while Greg Minton came on in the ninth to register his 11th save. [The Sporting News]
