A throwing error by Dave Parker enabled the winning run to score as the Giants edged the Pirates, 3-2, in 10 innings. The score was tied, 2-2, when Terry Whitfield led off the 10th with a single and went to second on a wild pitch by Kent Tekulve. Jack Clark drew a walk and Dave Hamilton replaced Tekulve.

Willie McCovey stroked a single to right. Whitfield held at third but dashed home when Parker threw the ball over the head of catcher Duffy Dyer. The Giants had tied the game in the seventh stanza on an RBI single by John Tamargo. [The Sporting News]
