A pinch double by Rick Auerbach scored Ray Knight from first base with the winning run in the 13th inning as the Reds edged the Giants, 7-6. Knight walked with one out.

The Reds came back from a 6-3 deficit in the eighth with three runs, scoring their tying tally when left fielder Vic Harris lost Pete Rose's drive in the sun. Rose was credited with a triple. [The Sporting News]
