The Phillies scored in each of the first six innings en route to a 10-4 triumph over the Reds that ended a string of nine straight losses to the Rhinelanders over two seasons. Larry Bowa, with only four home runs in seven previous seasons, hit his third homer of the season and Jim Kaat became the winning pitcher with his first complete game of the year. [The Sporting News]
