Pat Corrales, subbing for Johnny Bench, had a perfect day at the plate with three walks and two singles, including the deciding hit in the seventh inning, as the Reds defeated the Cardinals, 6-5. The Reds tied the score at 4-4 in the sixth when Corrales singled, Dave Concepcion sacrificed and Bench, batting for Wayne Simpson, singled. Bench went into left field to finish the game.

In the seventh, Tony Perez singled, Clay Carroll beat out an infield hit and both runners advanced on a wild throw by Dal Maxvill. After an intentional pass to Tommy Helms, Corrales hit a two-run single. [The Sporting News]
