Billy O'Dell allowed San Francisco's manager to rest his bullpen, tossing a

complete game as the San Francisco Giants outscored the Cincinnati Reds 3 to

2.

 

O'Dell(7-4) delivered a fine performance for San Francisco.  He allowed 8 hits

and no walks in 9 innings.  Cincinnati made it exciting in the 9th, but they

were unable to push the needed runs across.  

 

The loss was charged to Bob Purkey(7-5).  He allowed 3 runs and 8 hits in 8

innings.  Cincinnati's manager was in a contemplative mood after the tough

loss, 'It is really hard to lose this kind of a game.  It may seem weird to

some, but it is easier to take the occasional blow-out loss.  It is the ones

that just barely get away that hurt so much - like this one!'
