SF 9, Pit 1

Tuesday, May 12- John Antonelli pitched his fifth complete game of the year and was backed with more than ample offense as the San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-1, Tuesday at Seals Stadium.

The Giants (16-11) rapped out 14 hits off Pirates starter Vern Law and reliever Bennie Daniels, including home runs from Orlando Cepeda, Jackie Brandt and Bob Schmidt.

Combined with the Los Angeles Dodgers' loss to the Philadelphia Phillies later last night, the Giants moved into first place by a half-game.

Cepeda's two-run homer in the seventh was the 12th hit off Law (1-3), who was knocked out of the game after 6.1 innings. The blast was just the second homer of the season for Cepeda.

Meanwhile, Antonelli (6-1) was brilliant, though he struck out no one. He retired 10 straight Pirates (14-14) between the third and sixth innings.
