Sunday April 19, 1970
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Wayne Simpson, the Reds' 21-year-old rookie righthander, yielded only one hit in posting a 6-0 victory over the Giants. Ken Henderson doubled in the first inning off Simpson, who walked seven and hit one batter while winning his third straight game. Tony Perez led the Reds at bat with three hits, including a homer with a man on base and two run-producing singles. [The Sporting News]
