Bobby Murcer's pinch-hit single off reliever Mike Marshall drove in the decisive run as the Giants edged the Dodgers, 2-1. The winning rally came in the seventh inning as Chris Speier doubled with one out and, after Steve Ontiveros flied out, pinch-hitter Chris Arnold drew a walk. Marc Hill singled to center to score Speier and Marshall replaced starter Doug Rau.

Murcer then batted for pinch-hitter Jake Brown, who had been announced, and hit a 3-2 pitch to right field for a single. The winning hurler was John Montefusco, who allowed only four hits and no earned runs before leaving for a pinch-hitter in the seventh. Rau was the losing pitcher and it was the first time the Giants defeated a lefthanded thrower in 10 straight tries. [The Sporting News]
