Making his first start since his no-hitter, Bob Gibson didn't have it and was rapped for 11 hits by the Reds, who defeated the Cardinals, 5-0. Bernie Carbo homered in the third inning. The Reds tacked on their remaining runs in the fifth.

Pete Rose was hit by a pitch, Lee May walked and Tony Perez singled to score Rose. A wild throw by Joe Torre on an infield hit by Johnny Bench allowed May to score. George Foster then tripled to drive in the last two runs. [The Sporting News]
