Pete Rose drove in four runs with a pair of singles and Bernie Carbo and Tony Perez smashed homers as the Reds piled up 15 hits in a 14-3 victory over the Astros. Wayne Simpson started off poorly for the Reds, giving up three runs on four hits in the first inning, but the rookie yielded only one more hit before turning the mound over to Wayne Granger in the ninth. Simpson also batted in a run with a single in the fourth when the Reds erupted for five runs to kayo Don Wilson.
