The San Francisco Giants trumped the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-3, at Candlestick Park. San Francisco third baseman Dave Kingman was named player of the game for his performance. He hit 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Juan Marichal got the win, improving to 1-2. He worked 8 innings, giving up 3 runs on 10 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. Picking up the save was Jerry Johnson, his 2nd.

San Francisco grabbed the momentum in the bottom of the fifth, when Kingman, who is tied for 5th in the NL in home runs with 4, hit a 2-run home run. His 4th home run of the season put the Giants out in front, 4-2.

"Nice to put this one in the win column," said Kingman.

The win brings the Giants to 7-12, a soft start for a team that made the playoffs just last season.
