McCovey slams twice in sixth as Giants rally past Reds
Willie McCovey crushed two grand slams in a 10-run sixth inning to erase an 8-1 Cincinnati lead and power the San Francisco Giants to a 14-9 comeback victory over the Reds at Riverfront Stadium. The 39-year-old slugger moved closer to Lou Gehrig and Hank Aaron in career home runs. McCovey hit his 12th and 13th homers of the season, 477th and 478th of his career, and said he could still catch Gehrig’s 493 career total. The win, secured by Terry Cornutt, softened a heavy Reds bullpen night amid a hostile crowd of 30,000.
