Shortstop Tim Foli had a bad day in the field with three errors and two of them resulted in unearned runs that enabled the Giants to edge the Mets, 2-1. In the third inning, Foli threw wildly on a grounder by Jack Clark for a two-base error. After advancing to third on an infield out, Clark scored on a safe bunt by Larry Herndon.

In the sixth, Johnnie LeMaster singled and Vida Blue walked. Bill Madlock then grounded into a forceout, but when Foli threw wildly in an attempt to complete the double play, LeMaster scored the Giants' winning run. Blue gained his first victory since May 17, but the Giants had to call on both Randy Moffitt and Gary Lavelle in relief before nailing down the decision. [The Sporting News]
