| A two-run single by Dave Concepcion in the seventh inning carried the Reds to a 3-2 victory over the Mets. After a single by Ken Griffey produced the Reds' initial run in the sixth inning, the Mets went ahead in the seventh with a homer by Lenny Randle, singles by Steve Henderson and John Milner and a sacrifice fly by John Stearns. In the Reds' half, Johnny Bench was safe on a throwing error by Randle and Dan Driessen doubled before Concepcion decided the outcome with his single. [The Sporting News] |
