Marichal Bright Spot In Giants Pitching Struggles
Giants manager Clyde King kept Juan Marichal in the game despite a rough three innings as Marichal recovered to finish with six innings of one run allowed after the initial collapse. Marichal, back from an ear infection, helped beat the Mets 11 to 7 with two homers by Willie McCovey and six RBIs. King noted Marichal’s great competitiveness and said he’d pitch him as needed, hoping the return helps stabilize a staff beset by injuries and underperformance.
