Wednesday August 4, 1971
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Although Gary Gentry reached a career high in strikeouts with 11, one of two walks issued by the righthander resulted in the Mets' loss to the Reds, 1-0. Woody Woodward drew a pass in the sixth inning, Gary Nolan sacrificed and Pete Rose drove in the run with a double. Gentry gave up seven hits.

Nolan, who held the Mets to five hits, was lifted with two out in the ninth after walking Art Shamsky. Clay Carroll, in relief, passed Donn Clendenon but retired Ken Boswell on a grounder to save the game. [The Sporting News]
