Jim Merritt was rapped for 14 hits in 6 2/3 innings, but the Reds' lefthander became the first 20-game winner in the N. L. this season when Bernie Carbo smashed a three-run homer to beat the Phillies, 6-5. Tony Perez broke a 2-2 tie with a circuit clout in the sixth inning. Then, after Johnny Bench and Lee May singled, Bernie Carbo connected for the circuit.
