San Francisco right-hander Ed Halicki made an effective start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, leading his team to a 5-1 win. Getting the save was Randy Moffitt, his 6th. The Giants bumped their record to 27-22 with this latest triumph.

Gary Thomasson chipped in for San Francisco with a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

Kingman got the scoring going early with a 2-run opposite field shot off Cubs RHP Burt Hooton that initially looked like RF Jose Cardenal had easily. "it just kept carrying," said the Giants slugger. "I might like to play here with this wind."
