After sending only 27 men to bat in the first nine innings, the Reds exploded with a grand-slam homer by May in the 10th and beat the Cardinals, 4-0, to complete the sweep of a twi-night doubleheader. Lee May also had a hand in the Reds' 4-3 victory in the opener, driving in a run with a double in the eighth inning when the Cincy crew tied the score at 3-3. Gary Nolan helped win his own game, rapping a single in the ninth and crossing the plate on singles by Pete Rose and Bobby Tolan.
