. . . where the 1970s live forever!

The revived Reds piled up six runs in the fourth inning and gained their fourth straight victory and fifth in the last six games by defeating the Giants, 7-5. The loss was the slumping Giants' fourth in a row and sixth in their last seven games. For the eighth time this season and 22nd time in his career, Bobby Bonds led off a game with a homer for the Giants.

The Reds began their outburst in the fourth with a single by Dan Driessen and one-out homer by Tony Perez. After Bobby Tolan struck out, Hal King also hit for the circuit. A triple by Dave Concepcion and successive singles by Don Gullett, Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Driessen completed the rally. [The Sporting News]
