Jack Clark slugged a fourth-inning homer and then scored the go-ahead run on a sixth-inning single by Larry Herndon to back the combined four-hit pitching of Vida Blue and Greg Minton, leading the Giants to a 2-1 victory over the Cubs. The Giants' winning rally consisted of successive two-out singles by Clark, Darrell Evans and Herndon. [The Sporting News]
