The Reds rallied for three runs on five straight singles after two were out in fifth inning to take the lead en route to a 6-2 victory over the Padres. Milt Wilcox, called up from Indianapolis (American Association), gained the decision in his debut with the Reds. Al Ferrara homered for the Padres, who took a 2-0 lead against the rookie. In the fifth, Pat Corrales and Dave Concepcion started the Reds' rally. Hal McRae then batted for Wilcox and singled to drive in the first run. Bobby Tolan and Pete Rose followed with run-scoring hits. Clay Carroll pitched the last four innings for the Reds and allowed only one hit. [The Sporting News]
