| Three homers, including a grand slam by Tony Perez, powered the Reds to an 8-1 victory over the Mets. The jackpot wallop by Perez came in the second inning after a single by Woody Woodward, double by Pete Rose and pass to Bobby Tolan. Lee May homered in the seventh and Johnny Bench connected with a man on base in the eighth. Gary Nolan, who lost his bid for a shutout on a homer by Cleon Jones in the ninth, gained his eighth straight victory and 15th of the season. [The Sporting News] |
