Although hitless in two official trips, Joe Morgan reached base on three walks, a forceout and an error and scored five of the Reds' runs in an 11-5 victory over the Giants. Dan Driessen had three singles and a walk and batted in four runs. Although Woodie Fryman yielded only two hits, wildness forced the lefthander's exit after six innings. Joe Henderson was tagged for a three-run homer by Gary Thomasson in the eighth before Dale Murray took over and retired the last four batters, striking out two. [The Sporting News]
