Johnny Bench, who won the preceding night's game with a two-run homer in the 10th inning, smashed another two-run drive to give the Reds a 2-0 victory over the Dodgers in a duel between Jack Billingham and Andy Messersmith. The largest single-game crowd in the N. L. so far this season, 54,038, saw Joe Morgan single in the third inning before Bench belted his round-tripper. Messersmith allowed only two other hits, but Bench's blow was enough to end his streak of seven straight victories. The Dodgers collected six singles off Billingham.
