After scoring five times in the first inning, the Giants added another run on a pass to Darrell Evans with the bases loaded in the fourth to edge the Reds, 6-5. Tom Hume, making his first major league start for the Reds, retired only one batter before being knocked out.

Hume walked one and gave up four hits, including a homer by Gary Thomasson with two men on base. However, Woodie Fryman handed the Giants what proved to be their winning run by passing four batters in the fourth. George Foster smashed two homers and Pete Rose hit one for the Reds.
