Joe Morgan collected a homer, triple and single, driving in two runs, and Pete Rose added four singles to lead the Reds to a 7-3 victory over the Padres. The Reds jumped on Sonny Siebert for three runs in the first inning. Morgan hit his homer after a single by Rose and forceout by Dave Concepcion, with the other run following on a single by Dan Driessen and double by Tony Perez.

Rose batted in a run with a single in the second before the Padres posted their tallies off Jack Billingham in the fourth, two scoring on a homer by Willie McCovey. George Foster padded the Reds' lead with a run-scoring double in the fifth and their last two tallies counted on a sacrifice fly by Merv Rettenmund and a balk in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
