Pounding five pitchers for 16 hits, the Phillies humiliated the Reds, 12-1, as winless Red ace Tom Seaver went down to his third defeat. Steve Carlton, Richie Hebner and Bake McBride paced the assault with three hits apiece.

The Phils bunched four singles with three walks while sending 10 batters to the plate during a five-run first inning. The Reds' Pete Rose, hitless in four at-bats, remained four hits shy of the 3,000-hit mark. [The Sporting News]
