The Reds left 20 men on base before losing to the Padres in 13 innings, 5-4. Dan Driessen knocked in two of the Reds' runs with a triple in the first inning. Singles by Cesar Geronimo and Clay Kirby around an infield out made it 3-1 in the fifth before the Padres pulled even in the sixth with singles by Nate Colbert and Johnny Grubb and a double by Derrel Thomas.

The Reds took the lead in the 12th with a run on a walk to Johnny Bench, balk by Dave Freisleben and single by Tony Perez, but the Padres came back with the tying tally in their half on a walk to Thomas, single by Bob Barton and error by Driessen. In the 13th, Enzo Hernandez singled and advanced to second on a balk by Fred Norman. Rich Morales bunted and when Norman threw late to third, Hernandez was safe. Grubb then lined to Joe Morgan, but Thomas came up and lofted a long sacrifice fly to score the winning run. [The Sporting News]
