Pinch-hitting in the eighth inning, Bob Bailey singled to spark a three-run rally that brought the Reds a 6-4 victory over the Cubs. Johnny Bench drew a pass to open the stanza and gave way to Ed Armbrister. Cesar Geronimo singled and, after a sacrifice by Dave Concepcion, Bailey hit his single to break a 3-3 tie. Pete Rose and Joe Morgan followed with subsequent singles to add two more runs to the Reds' total. [The Sporting News]
