For the 2nd straight start, the 1962 San Francisco Giants destroyed Pittsburgh Pirates ace Bob Friend. After Friend lasted 2 2/3 innings in his last start, he barely did better, being chased after 3 1/3 innings, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits. The Giants batted around in two different innings. Friend allowed 5 straight hits, capped by Cedepa’s 2-run shot in the 3rd. In the 4th, Friend yielded 3 straight hits before his exit. Jim Umbricht made a mistake pitch to Cepeda for a 3-run homer a few batters later. Billy O’Dell carried an 11-1 lead into the 7th before Dick Stuart’s tournament-leading 13th homer ended his night. Reliever Mike McCormick gave up a solo shot in the 8th to Don Hoak, and back-to-back homers in the 9th to Rocky Nelson and Roberto Clemente, as the Pirates scored 8 runs in the final 3 innings to cut the lead to 11-9 before Stu Miller shut them down, picking up his 4th save. Cepeda now has 5 home runs in the past 5 games against the Pirates. Despite two blowouts that turned into close games, San Francisco heads to Pittsburgh with a 2-0 series lead.
