Tony Perez, Dave Concepcion and George Foster each drove in two of the Reds' runs in a 7-1 victory over the Mets, who went down to their sixth straight defeat. Perez hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the first inning and walked with the sacks filled again in the fifth for his second RBI before Concepcion came up and batted in two runs with a single.

Foster doubled, stole third and counted on a wild pitch in the sixth and then hit a homer with a man on base for the Reds' last two runs in the eighth. A homer by Rusty Staub saved the Mets from being shut out. [The Sporting News]
