Johnny Bench batted in two runs with a double and Ty Cline plated a pair with a pinch-single when the Reds rallied in the eighth inning to defeat the Cubs, 6-4. Willie Smith homered to help the Cubs take a 3-0 lead, but the first baseman's error enabled the Reds to score two unearned runs in the seventh. The Cubs picked up a run on three singles in the eighth, but Pete Rose walked in Reds' half and, after a forceout by Bobby Tolan, Tony Perez also drew a pass. Bench followed with his double. After two walks loaded the bases, Cline delivered his decisive single. [The Sporting News]
