Willie Mays hit his fourth homer of the season and 658th of his career to save the Mets from a shutout in a 3-1 loss to the Reds. Ross Grimsley pitched a four-hitter for the Reds, who sent him on his way to victory with two runs in the fourth inning on a pass to Joe Morgan, double by Dave Concepcion, single by Johnny Bench, sacrifice by Andy Kosco and sacrifice fly by Bobby Tolan. Concepcion singled in the eighth, stole second and scored the last run on a single by Larry Stahl.
