The Dodgers protest the wetting down of the field at Candlestick Park‚ a tactic they claim is to stop Maury Wills. Billy Pierce then hands 21-game winner Don Drysdale his 5th loss‚ and the first after 11 straight wins‚ as the Giants win, 5 – 4, to take the second game in their series. Willie McCovey’s pinch-homer with two on is the big blow off Drysdale.
