A grand-slam homer by Tony Perez powered the Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Pirates, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. Clay Carroll led off the third inning with a single and stopped at third on a double by Pete Rose. Luke Walker, pitching for the Pirates, walked Johnny Bench intentionally to load the bases and set the stage for Perez. [The Sporting News]
