With George Foster, Joe Morgan and Merv Rettenmund hitting homers, the Reds extended their winning streak to six games with a 4-1 victory in the opener of a doubleheader before being stopped by the Padres in the nightcap, 4-3. The Reds added to their major league fielding record in the twin bill, playing their 13th and 14th consecutive games without committing an error. Jack Billingham, with last-out help from Will McEnaney, notched his sixth straight victory in the lidlifter. Singles by Enzo Hernandez and Bobby Tolan, together with a grounder by Tito Fuentes, produced the Padres' run in the third inning before the Reds swung into action with their homers.
