Sending 10 men to bat, the Giants scored five times in the eighth inning to defeat the Dodgers, 6-4. Andy Messersmith, pitching for the Dodgers with a 4-1 lead, left the game with the bases loaded after a double by Dave Rader and walks to Gary Matthews and Bobby Bonds. Mike Marshall then failed in relief. Mike Phillips doubled, clearing the sacks, and scored himself on a single by Steve Ontiveros. Later, Ontiveros also crossed the plate on a single by Chris Speier.
