With two out in the sixth inning, the Reds erupted for four runs, breaking a 1-1 tie, and defeated the Expos, 6-1. Buddy Bradford walked and counted the go-ahead tally on a double by Johnny Bench. Tony Perez singled, scoring Bench, and Lee May then smashed a two-run homer to cap the outburst. [The Sporting News]
