Enjoying a 15-hit spree including homers by Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Tony Perez, the Reds walloped the Padres, 11-0. Pete Rose had four hits, two of them doubles. Morgan, who also had two doubles in addition to his homer, drove in five runs. Don Gullett pitched the first eight innings for the Reds, allowing three hits, before Clay Carroll hurled the final frame. [The Sporting News]
