Sunday July 22, 1973
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
Jack Billingham pitched his sixth shutout, tops in the N. L., and gained his 14th victory, a high for his career, but the Reds lost the services of Dave Concepcion while defeating the Expos, 6-0. Sliding into third base in the seventh inning, Concepcion suffered a fractured ankle and may be out for the rest of the season. Johnny Bench and Denis Menke hit homers in the Reds' scoring.
