Gaylord Perry triumphed in a duel with Tom Seaver and pitched the Padres to a 3-2 victory over the Reds. Johnny Bench batted in the Reds' pair with a single in the first inning. The Padres tied the score in the sixth with one run scoring on a double by Ozzie Smith and another on a two-bagger by Dave Winfield.

In the ninth, Broderick Perkins singled and gave way on the paths to Bill Almon. Pinch-hitter Mike Hargrove walked and Dan Briggs ran for him. Barry Evans, attempting to bunt, forced Almon at third, but Fernando Gonzalez came through with a single, driving in Briggs with the Padres' winning run. [The Sporting News]
