Don Gullett allowed only six hits and pitched the Reds to a 5-2 victory over the Padres. A walk to Cesar Geronimo and singles by Johnny Bench and Tony Perez produced a run for the Reds in the first inning and they added another in the second on a triple by Darrel Chaney and a wild pitch. Doubles by Perez and Ken Griffey accounted for a tally in the third and the Reds' final pair scored in the sixth on singles by Griffey and Chaney, a double by Pete Rose and sacrifice fly by Geronimo.
