Johnny Bench belted three homers, giving him four in as many official trips to the plate, but the Reds also needed a two-run wallop by Dave Concepcion in the ninth inning to defeat the Phillies, 9-7. Bench, who homered in his last time at bat in the previous night's game, resumed his slugging with a two-run drive in the first inning.
