Posting his first complete game since August 11, 1975, Jack Billingham pitched the Reds to a 5-1 victory over the Mets. Billingham lost his bid for a shutout on a homer by Benny Ayala in the ninth. Johnny Bench, who had been out for a week with a strained right knee, returned to action with the Reds and smashed a homer with a man on base and a sacrifice fly.
