Giants Suffer Quick Return To Mediocrity Under Sheehan
The San Francisco Giants fail to improve after replacing manager Bill Rigney with Tom Sheehan. A 9-6 and 2-1 doubleheader loss at Milwaukee drops them further in the NL standings, with Slump continuing as Willie Mays and Cepeda homer in the opener but pitchers allow runs. The Pirates, Braves, and Dodgers win in other NL action as Crandall, Aaron, and Adcock power Milwaukee to victory.
