Juan Marichal Dominates Candlestick As Giants Take Lead
Juan Marichal pitched four hitters into first place in the National League West by beating Atlanta 2 1 at Candlestick Park. He improved to 19-1 at home, 13-1 this season there, with eight shutouts this year and a string of 45 scoreless innings at home. Willie Mays had three hits, and the Giants moved four games from fourth to first as the Dodgers swept Cincinnati to climb to within a half game. Phillies fell to Pittsburgh as Al Oliver and Jose Pagan homered, while Oscar Gamble and Billy Williams led Chicago over Montreal. The Mets were rained out while San Diego beat Houston for their sixth straight loss by the Astros.
