As a warm-up for the playoffs, the Reds used five pitchers while posting a 4-2 victory over the Astros. Clay Carroll, who hurled a scoreless ninth, received credit for his record 37th save, two more than the previous mark. Dave Concepcion homered for the Reds and Johnny Bench hit a sacrifice fly to drive in his 125th run of the season.
