April 6, 1972. San Francisco 8, San Diego 1

San Francisco begins defense of their NL West Division title by stomping San Diego 8-1.  Juan Marichal pitched around 4 Giant errors to get the win.  The Padres managed only a 1st inning homer by Leron Lee while the Giants pounded 3 homers and 11 hits on the way to the win.

After the Padres got on the board first, it didn't take the Giants long to answer.  Bobby Bonds hit a leadoff homer in the bottom of the 1st and followed with an RBI single in the 2nd to get the Giants moving.  Tito Fuentes and Willie McCovey added 2-run homers later in the game.

Padres Stumble, Lose to Giants
The 1972 season is off to a good start for the San Francisco Giants. The hometown Giants knocked off the San Diego Padres, 8-1, at Candlestick Park 1970-1978. San Francisco pitcher Juan Marichal paced his team to the win.

Bobby Bonds, who finished 5th in the NL in home runs with 33 last year, chipped in for San Francisco with a solo home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the right fielder had 3 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 2 singles, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said San Francisco manager Charlie Fox.
