With two out in the eighth inning, Jack Clark cracked a homer to give the Giants a 4-3 victory over the Phillies. The Giants took a 3-0 lead in the third. Darrell Evans homered with a man on base and the other run followed on a triple by Clark and single by Mike Ivie.

The Phillies came back with a pair in the fourth, one run scoring on an error by Ivie and the other on a homer by Greg Luzinski, before tying the score in the seventh on a triple by Tim McCarver and single by Ted Sizemore. [The Sporting News]
