The pitching of John Montefusco and Charlie Williams, who combined on a six-hitter, enabled the Giants to defeat the Cubs, 4-1. Montefusco yielded only two hits in the first seven innings before giving up the Cubs' run on singles by Jose Cardenal, Jerry Morales and Rick Monday in the eighth.

Williams, relieving with one out, retired the next two batters and allowed one hit while setting down the Cubs in the ninth. Bruce Miller led the Giants at bat with three hits, driving in one run and scoring one. [The Sporting News]
