With two out in the ninth inning, Johnny Bench drove in two runs with a double to bring the Reds a 3-2 victory over Mets. Jim Merritt, who became the N. L.'s first 19-game winner of the season, was lifted in the ninth for pinch-hitter Ty Cline, who came through with a single. Pete Rose was safe at first on an error by Joe Foy. After Bobby Tolan forced Rose, attempting to bunt, Tony Perez popped up, but Bench, the major leagues' RBI leader, then delivered his decisive double.
