The Reds, after losing the lead in the top of the ninth, came back with a run in their half to defeat the Padres, 2-1. The Reds scored initially in the second inning on a sacrifice fly by Woody Woodward with the bases loaded.

The Padres' run in the ninth came on a double by Leron Lee and pinch-single by Larry Stahl. In the Reds' half, Tommy Helms beat out a grounder to deep short, Jimmy Stewart walked and Pete Rose broke up the game with a single. [The Sporting News]
