Tony Perez batted in six runs with two homers and a single to lead the Reds' slugging in a 10-5 victory over the Dodgers. Bernie Carbo, Pete Rose and Lee May also homered for the Big Red Machine. Carbo hit his round-tripper in the fourth and Perez drove in a run with a single in the fifth, but the Dodgers held a 3-2 lead until the seventh when Rose and Perez each homered with a man on base.

The Reds added four more runs in the ninth on a double by Rose, single by Bobby Tolan and circuit clouts by Perez and May. The victory gave the West division leaders a 14-game bulge over the second-place Dodgers. [The Sporting News]
