The Reds' power asserted itself with a grand-slam homer by George Foster in the eighth inning and successive doubles by Pete Rose and Ken Griffey in the ninth to defeat the Giants, 7-5. Foster's smash off Randy Moffitt put the Reds ahead, 5-2, but the Giants tied the score with a three-run rally in their half of the eighth.
