When Roger Nelson developed shoulder trouble while warming up, Clay Carroll received a rare starting assignment and pitched the Reds to a 5-0 victory over the Phillies with last-inning help from Pedro Borbon. The start was Carroll's first since June 8, 1973, and only his 23rd in 551 major league appearances.

Carroll gave up six hits before leaving the game for a pinch-hitter in the eighth. Borbon yielded one hit in the ninth. The Reds began their scoring with a homer by Joe Morgan in the first inning. Dave Concepcion batted in two runs with a bases-loaded single in the sixth. The Reds filled the sacks again in the seventh and added their last two tallies on a sacrifice fly by Andy Kosco and single by Cesar Geronimo. [The Sporting News]
