In a swift change of fortune, Bob Forsch was knocked out in the first inning as the Reds piled up seven runs en route to a 12-7 victory over the Cardinals. In Forsch's previous start against the Braves, the Cardinals scored nine runs in the first to start the rookie off to a 12-0 victory. But this time, the Reds jumped on the young righthander from the outset. Cesar Geronimo singled and Pete Rose and Joe Morgan doubled for two runs before Johnny Bench grounded out. Tony Perez singled for an RBI. Two walks loaded the bases. Bill Plummer hit a sacrifice fly and Don Gullett then applied the finishing touch to Forsch with a two-run double.
