George Foster cracked four hits, including his 45th homer, and Dan Driessen drove in three runs with a pair of singles as the Reds snapped the Phillies' 16-game home winning streak, 5-2. The Reds jumped on Jim Kaat for two runs in the first inning on a single by Driessen after hits by Pete Rose and Foster and a walk to Johnny Bench had loaded the bases.
