06/13/1979 - Krukow Goes Distance in 3-1 Win
The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Candlestick Park, knocking off the San Francisco Giants, 3-1. Starting pitcher Mike Krukow, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. The 'W' lifts Chicago's record to 29-30.
Krukow, who dominated for Chicago, earned the victory to move to 5-3. He was in control the whole game, scattering 6 hits over 9 innings, while striking out 10. San Francisco batters could never bunch up enough hits to produce a rally.
"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Krukow.
Kingman homered off RHP Ed Halicki.
