Jack Billingham, who pitched the Reds' only complete game so far this season in beating the Cubs, 1-0, April 24, defeated the Cubs again, 5-2, but this time the Reds' righthander needed help from Pedro Borbon. Joe Morgan and Johnny Bench hit homers to start the Reds' scoring. Bench accounted for another RBI with a single in the eighth when the Reds added two runs, one unearned. Their final tally in the ninth also was tainted. The Cubs chased Billingham in the eighth, loading the bases on a single by Rick Monday, pass to Billy Williams and error by Morgan. Borbon yielded a two-run single by Carmen Fanzone before putting down the Cubs' threat.
