A perfect throw by Pete Rose in the ninth inning cut off a Giants' rally and enabled the Reds to emerge with a 3-1 victory. The Reds capitalized on an error by Willie McCovey to score twice in the first inning and added their other run in the second when Ross Grimsley scored from third base on a sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan.
