Both teams had their opportunities, but in the end, the San Francisco Giants got the win.

The San Francisco Giants tallied a win at Comiskey Park, throttling the Chicago (A) White Sox, 4-2. Starting pitcher Phil Ortega was a big reason for his team's success. The winner was Ortega. He threw 6.0 innings of 2-hit ball. The loser was Red Munger. Garrett Olson, who led the NL in saves with 36 in 1995, nailed down the save.

San Francisco right fielder Johnny Rizzo delivered a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh. Overall, he went 3 for 5, picking up 1 home run, 1 single, and 1 double. He scored 1 run and knocked in 3.

"It was just a matter of executing," said San Francisco manager Jake Fegan.

Their 59-53 record puts the Giants 5th in the National League.
