Although Don Wilson was pitching a no-hitter, manager Preston Gomez removed the Astros' righthander for a pinch-batter in the eighth inning in an attempt to prevent a 2-1 loss to the Reds. Tommy Helms swung for Wilson and grounded out. Mike Cosgrove took over the pitching in the ninth and yielded a single by Tony Perez for the Reds' only hit. The Reds scored their runs off Wilson in the fifth on walks to Cesar Geronimo and George Foster, a sacrifice by Jack Billingham and wild throw by Roger Metzger after fielding a grounder by Pete Rose.
