| Homers by Ray Knight, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Hector Cruz powered the Reds to a 9-1 rout of the Padres. Bench doubled home a run in the first inning and Knight followed with a round-tripper. Morgan led off the third with his circuit clout and Bench capped a four-run fifth frame with a three-run blast. [The Sporting News] |
