. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Pete Rose singled in the fifth inning to reach 200 hits for the eighth season in his major league career, but the Reds lost to the Giants, 4-2. Jim Barr, with the aid of Randy Moffitt, who relieved in the eighth, beat the Reds for the fourth time this year.

The Giants, who had a homer by Marty Perez, built up a 3-0 lead before the Reds posted their pair in the eighth on singles by Ken Griffey and Joe Morgan, a double by Tony Perez and sacrifice fly by George Foster. The Giants pulled away with an insurance run in the ninth on a single by Gary Thomasson and double by Chris Speier. [The Sporting News]
