Starting with a two-run homer by Ken Griffey in the first inning, the Reds defeated the Braves, 3-0, for their 103rd victory of the season, surpassing the previous Cincinnati club record of 102 games won in 1970. Don Gullett, who pitched the first seven innings, and Rawly Eastwick combined on the shutout. The Braves collected only two hits. [The Sporting News]
