A three-run homer by Johnny Bench was not enough for the Reds, who lost to the Giants, 4-3, in 10 innings. The winning run in the extra frame was scored by Gary Matthews, who opened with a double, moved to third on an infield out and crossed the plate on a single by Chris Speier. The Reds had taken a 3-2 lead in the seventh when Bench homered behind a walk to Dave Concepcion and single by Joe Morgan.
