Tony Perez and George Foster hit two-run homers to power the Reds past the Phillies, 7-3. The Reds jumped on starter and loser Steve Carlton for three runs in their first turn at bat. Ken Griffey's triple and Joe Morgan's sacrifice fly started the scoring and, after Johnny Bench singled, Perez unloaded a long smash into the top-most deck of Riverfront Stadium.

The fourth Red run came in the third stanza on Bench's RBI single. Dick Allen's error gave the home team another score in the sixth and Foster's 15th circuit clout of the campaign followed a walk to Perez in the seventh inning. [The Sporting News]
