| Willie McCovey smashed his 22nd and 23rd homers, one more than last year, and drove in three runs as the Padres defeated the Giants, 8-6. McCovey's blows helped the Padres erase a 3-0 deficit and take a 7-3 lead. After the Giants rallied for three runs in the eighth, Dave Winfield homered in the Padres' half to assure victory. The Giants had a homer by Steve Ontiveros in their scoring. [The Sporting News] |
