John Montefusco whacked one of the Giants' three homers to go along with his seven-hit hurling in a 6-0 victory over the Reds. The Giants doomed Don Gullett to defeat with three runs in the second inning on a double by Steve Ontiveros and homers by Dave Kingman and Chris Speier. Montefusco, who singled and scored in the fourth, connected for his round-tripper for the final run in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
