Pete Rose bloomed for the the Reds with three doubles to lead the attack in a 5-4 victory over the Cubs. Rose scored after each of his doubles and also drove in one run. The only Reds' tally in which he did not figure counted in the fifth inning on singles by George Foster, Tommy Helms and Woody Woodward.

The game marked a milestone for Tony Perez of the Reds and Ernie Banks of the Cubs. Perez singled in the second for his 1,000th major league hit and Banks belted the 512th homer of his career to tie Eddie Mathews for seventh on the all-time list. [The Sporting News]
