Still without a victory this season, Ken Reynolds suffered his 12th straight defeat when the Reds beat the Phillies. 6-1. The lefty, who tied the Philadelphia club record for most consecutive losses, was knocked out in the fourth inning when the Reds exploded for five runs on four hits, three walks, two of them intentional, and a sacrifice fly.

Don Gullett hurled the route for the Reds, allowed only three hits and gained his third straight victory to mark his recovery of stamina after an early-season attack of hepatitis. [The Sporting News]
