Pinch-hitting in the 12th inning, Ken Henderson delivered a three-run homer to carry the Reds to a 6-3 victory over the Cardinals. The Reds took a 3-0 lead in the third. Fred Norman walked and scored when Pete Rose doubled and Jerry Morales let the ball get past him in right field for an error. Joe Morgan followed with a homer.

The Cards got to Norman for two runs in the sixth and tied the score in the seventh when Jerry Mumphrey tripled and Mike Phillips hit a sacrifice fly. In the Reds' 12th, Rose walked and stole second, leading to a two-out intentional pass to Ken Griffey before Henderson batted for Pedro Borbon and tagged Mark Littell for his homer.
