With a crowd of 51,864 on hand, Tom Seaver's first appearance at Riverfront Stadium in a Cincinnati uniform was spoiled by the Dodgers, who defeated the Reds, 3-2. Admittedly nervous, Seaver gave up two runs in the first inning on a walk to Davey Lopes, single by Bill Russell, an infield out that advanced the runners and a single by Steve Garvey.
