Wednesday July 30, 1975
. . . where the 1970s live forever!
The Reds, who had been forced to call on the bullpen for 45 consecutive games, finally were able to give their relievers a rest when Pat Darcy hurled the route for the first time in his major league career and defeated the Giants, 6-1. Johnny Bench drove in a run with a single in the first inning and another with a double in the sixth, while Tony Perez accounted for three RBIs with a single in the first and triple in the seventh.
