08/23/1974 - Giants Get Win, Extend Streak to 4
Getting a good performance from center fielder Garry Maddox, the San Francisco Giants defeated the Chicago Cubs, 14-7. Maddox was 4-5 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Giants. Tom Bradley got the win, improving to 1-2. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 8 hits and 7 runs, while striking out 3 and walking 3. The Giants have now won 4 straight.
Bill Madlock tried to get his team back in the game. With Chicago trailing 12-3 in the top of the 7th, Madlock hit a bases-clearing double. But the Cubs held on to get the win. "Madlock had a good at-bat," said manager Wes Westrum. "We could have used a few more like it."
Dave Kingman had a solid game with a double, a homer off RHP Oscar Zamora, and two walks. He now has 50 RBI for the season.
