The relief pitching of Ray Washburn, who took over as an emergency replacement for Jim Merritt in the first inning, captured the spotlight as the Reds defeated the Giants, 5-2. The Giants scored in the first inning on a single by Ken Henderson, pass to Willie McCovey and single by Dick Dietz before Merritt left the mound with a strained elbow.
