| A two-run homer by Jack Clark climaxed a three-run third inning that lifted the Giants to a 4-2 victory over the Padres. John Montefusco opened the stanza with a fly ball to left that fell between Jay Johnstone and Gene Richards for a triple. One out later, Joe Strain delivered a single and Clark followed with his round-tripper to cap the inning. The Giants' other run came on a single by Mike Ivie in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
