Jim McGlothlin, who had an 8-16 record with the Angels last season, made a winning debut in N. L. by pitching the Reds to a 5-2 victory over the Dodgers. Bobby Tolan hit a single and a triple, scored twice and drove in two runs, one with his triple and the other with a grounder, to lead the Reds' attack. [The Sporting News]
