A 4-RBI performance from Dave Kingman, who is tied for 9th in the NL in home runs with 23, helped the San Francisco Giants beat the Cincinnati Reds, 12-1. Tom Bradley was the winner. Over 9 innings, he allowed 1 run on 6 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts. San Francisco is 74-85 and Cincinnati, with the loss, 101-58.

Kingman had a big at-bat with a runner on 2nd in the top of the sixth inning, when he hit a 2-run home run off RHP Pat Darcy. He had already homered once onff the Reds started. The Giants went on to win.
