The Reds amassed 20 hits, including nine for extra bases, and overpowered the Giants, 12-5. Every Cincy starting player collected at least one hit and drove in at least one run. Tony Perez had the lone homer in the attack, but Cesar Geronimo rapped two triples and Darrel Chaney drove in three runs with a pair of doubles. Jack Billingham was hit on the left leg by a line drive off the bat of Gary Matthews in the seventh inning and had to leave the game. Clay Carroll finished. [The Sporting News]
