Wayne Granger, who relieved Jim McGlothlin with the bases loaded and two out in the ninth inning, retired Doug Rader on a grounder to save the Reds' 3-0 victory over the Astros. An error, a single by Joe Morgan for the Astros' third hit of the game and a walk brought Granger to the rescue. The Reds scored on a pass to Pete Rose and a double by Johnny Bench in the third inning and added two unearned runs off Jack Billingham in the fourth.
