Succeeding on his fourth try, Gaylord Perry moved into the class of 15-game winners by pitching the Giants to a 5-3 victory over the Reds. Perry held the Reds hitless until one out in the sixth inning when a single by Pete Rose, three walks and a double by Lee May produced Cincy tallies. The Giants scored twice in the first on singles by Ron Hunt and Tito Fuentes, a walk to Willie Mays, sacrifice fly by Willie McCovey and groundout by Ken Henderson. Two errors by Woody Woodward led to a pair of unearned runs in the fourth. Henderson singled and Dick Dietz doubled for the final tally in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
