Consecutive homers by Tony Perez and Johnny Bench in the fourth inning and a grand-slam by Bobby Tolan in the seventh powered the Reds to a 6-1 victory over the Padres. Tolan's smash came off Danny Coombs after the Reds loaded the bases on singles by Dave Concepcion and Tommy Helms around a walk to Pete Rose.
