The Reds, bouncing back after being the victims of a no-hitter by Ken Holtzman of the Cubs in the previous night's game, broke loose with their best offensive display of the season to trounce the Cardinals, 12-0. Tony Perez and George Foster each had four of the Reds' 17 hits. Ross Grimsley held the Cards to three hits in posting his first major league shutout. [The Sporting News]
