Don Gullett, who has become the new lefthanded ace of the Reds' bullpen, retired the last six batters in the succession after replacing Ross Grimsley, to complete a 6-2 victory over the Expos. This was Gullett's fifth relief appearance since his last start May 28 and in that time he had picked up two victories and two saves. Johnny Bench led the Reds at bat, driving in two runs with a single and homer. [The Sporting News]
