Willie McCovey homered twice including a 10th inning shot off Bob Miller to lift the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The injury list grew for the Dodgers as outfielder Tommy Davis was lost for at least three months with a broken right ankle. Davis was hurt sliding into second in Saturday's game. McCovey showed improved mobility with new shoes, posting a .362 average with 5 homers and 13 RBIs in the week. Other results: Philadelphia swept Milwaukee, St. Louis beat Pittsburgh twice, Cincinnati swept New York, and Chicago ended Houston's 10-game win streak.
