Tony Perez hit the 200th homer of his major league career to help the Reds defeat the Phillies, 5-4. Joe Morgan singled and Dan Driessen doubled for the Reds' initial run in the first inning before Perez homered to make it 3-0. Morgan walked, stole second, moved to third on an infield out and scored on a sacrifice fly by Johnny Bench in third. Jim McGlothlin tripled and Pete Rose singled for another run in the fourth before the Phillles came back with two in their half and the final pair on a homer by Bill Robinson in the ninth.
