Reaching loser Tom Seaver for all their runs in the first two innings, the Reds pinned a fifth defeat on the Met ace, who had only two victories to show for 11 starts, 4-2. Cincinnati blended singles by Pete Rose, Joe Morgan and Dave Concepcion with a walk, infield out and Terry Crowley's sacrifice fly to grab a 3-0 advantage in the first. Back-to-back doubles by Morgan and Johnny Bench made it 4-0 in the second. A rare homer by Bud Harrelson, only the fourth of his career, accounted for both New York runs off winner Fred Norman in the fifth. Harrelson connected after a walk to Don Hahn, but Norman allowed only three other hits.
