. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A homer by Tony Perez in the 10th inning carried the Reds to a 2-1 victory over the Padres. Despite the low scoring game, the Reds were forced to call on four pitchers, with the decision going to Don Gullett. The Padres scored their run in the sixth on a single by Enzo Hernandez, sacrifice by Ivan Murrell and double by Dave Roberts. The Reds caught up against Randy Jones in the eighth with singles by Johnny Bench, Perez and Andy Kosco. Vicente Romo served up Perez' homer in the 10th and was the loser in relief.
