It's a long drive to the top for the Giants and just a short putt to permanent second di vision status for the fifth-place San Franciscans are now sev en games behind first-place Pittsburgh and a full two games to the rear of fourth place Los Angeles. A howling crowd of 26,273 watched the Phils cagjure 7-3 and 6-5 wins in a hot humid night. Nothing went right for the San Franciscans. They strand ed 13 men on the basepaths in one game; third-sacker Joey Amalfitano was beaned; the rookie sensation Juan Marichal was knocked out of the box for the first time; and those two glaring Giant weak nesses - defense and relief hurling -gere in prominent evidence. Some sloppy fielding bjOOr lando Cepeda in the third in ning of the opener helped the Phils grab a 1-1 lead.
