Right fielder Harvey Kuenn had 3 base hits and 3 RBI as the incredible San

Francisco Giants defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 5 to 4 at

Forbes Field.

 

San Francisco won the game with a run in the top of the 8th inning.  Chuck

Hiller laced a base-knock.  Juan Marichal stepped up to the plate and he laid

down a sacrifice bunt.  Kuenn then doubled scoring the run.  Despite losing,

Pittsburgh out-hit San Francisco 13 to 9.  

 

Marichal(14-2) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings.

Stu Miller gained credit for his 16th save.  Diomedes Olivo(3-3) was tagged

with the loss in relief.  He pitched 1 and 1/3 innings giving up 2 hits and 1

walk.
