Two-run homers by Bobby Tolan and Johnny Bench in a seventh-inning explosion lifted the Reds to a 6-5 victory over the Padres. Ed Spiezio and Cito Gaston rapped round-trippers to help the Padres take a 4-2 lead before the Reds erupted. Dave Concepcion touched off the winning rally with a single and, after a forceout by Ty Cline, who batted for Jim McGlothlin, Tolan tied the score with his circuit clout. Pete Rose then walked and Bench homered for the winning blow. As a result, McGlothlin got credit for his first victory since July 4. [The Sporting News]
