Bill Madlock (6) put every muscle he had behind a massive 452-foot, 2-run home run to dead CF in the 3rd inning. Pascual Perez (2-2) evened his 1981 slate with a strong 7 innings on the bump.

Bill North (4 hits) and Milt May (3 hits) helped the Giants to a 2-0 lead behind stellar pitching from Tom Griffin. He would eventually tire, and Greg Minton (3-2) could not hold the lead.
