Don Gullett, whose infield out capped the Reds' scoring of three runs in the second inning, defeated the Giants, 3-2, with last-out help from Wayne Granger. Johnny Bench singled, Bernie Carbo doubled and Tommy Helms singled for the first two runs. Helms, who advanced on the throw to the plate, moved to third on an infield hit by Dave Concepcion and scored what proved to be the winning run on Gullett's grounder. [The Sporting News]
