Tony Cloninger hit a homer to cap the Reds' scoring and gained credit for a 6-2 victory over the Astros with the help of Clay Carroll, who relieved in the eighth inning. The Reds picked up a run in the first and then bunched four hits, including doubles by Pat Corrales and Pete Rose, for three runs in the second. Tony Perez homered in the third and Cloninger connected in the sixth. Bob Watson hit a homer for the Astros.
