The Giants faced a stiff challenge from Houston pitcher Larry Dierker, but persevered to claim a win at Candlestick Park. The final score was 3-2. Dierker went 9 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. The win brings the Giants to 5-10, a soft start for a team that made the playoffs just last season.

The Giants got a big at-bat from pinch hitter Al Gallagher. For the game, Gallagher went 1-1. In the bottom of the 12th, with the bases loaded, he stroked a run-scoring single. His 1st hit of the season gave San Francisco a 3-2 lead.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said San Francisco skipper. "I can't complain."

For his part, Dave pokes another one over the fence, this time off RHP Larry Dierker:
