The 1973 season is getting ugly for New York.

The Giants got a big at-bat from first baseman Dave Kingman. For the game, Kingman was 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the sixth, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run of the Mets RHP Jim McAndrew. His 16th home run of the season gave San Francisco a 2-0 lead.
"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Bryant.
