The Reds won in Riverfront Stadium for the 61st time this season, rolling over the Astros, 10-1, to tie the N. L. record for most home victories held by the 1962 Giants. The Reds began their attack with a two-run homer by Tony Perez in the first inning and then salted away their decision with six runs in the sixth, three scoring on a bases-loaded double by Joe Morgan.
