Capitalizing on a wild pickoff throw by Mike Garman, the Reds scored in the 10th inning and defeated the Cardinals, 3-2. Ken Griffey beat out an infield hit with one away and raced to third on Garman's wild throw. The Cards then issued intentional passes to Joe Morgan and Tony Perez, but Johnny Bench hit a slow roller that allowed Grfffey to score the winning run.

Ted Sizemore, who fielded the ball, had no chance for a play at the plate and instead threw out Bench at first. Ted Simmons knocked in both of the Cardinals' runs with a homer and single. Perez hit a single and double to produce the Reds' first pair. [The Sporting News]
