The Reds accounted for seven runs with three homers, but that was not enough to avoid an 8-7 loss to the Dodgers in 13 innings. A two-run drive by Tony Perez in the first inning and three-run smash by Bobby Tolan in the sixth powered the Reds to a 5-1 lead before the Dodgers erupted for six runs in the eighth. Ron Cey knocked in two with a double and Davey Lopes drove in a pair with a single.

The Reds came back to tie the score in the ninth on a single by Dan Driessen and homer by Joe Morgan, both coming up as pinch-hitters. Morgan did not start the game because of an upset stomach. The Dodgers broke the tie in the 13th with the winning run on a double by Manny Mota and two-out single by Lee Lacy. [The Sporting News]
