George Foster hit two homers and drove in five of the Reds' runs in a 6-1 victory over the Pirates. Singles by Ken Griffey and Johnny Bench preceded Foster's first smash of the game in the fourth inning. The Reds' outfielder then connected for the circuit again after a single by Tony Perez in the sixth. Manny Sanguillen homered for the Pirates' run. [The Sporting News]
