Relieving in the 10th inning, Clay Carroll threw only one pitch and was the loser when Billy Williams connected for a homer to give the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Reds, who were stopped on a seven-game winning streak. The Cubs counted their first run off Gary Nolan in the sixth on singles by Jose Cardenal and Glenn Beckert and sacrifice fly by Ron Santo. Tony Perez homered in the seventh for the tying run off Fergie Jenkins, who beat the Reds for the fourth straight time this season. [The Sporting News]
