Johnny Bench belted a grand slam, George Foster smashed his 52nd homer and Pete Rose singled twice to reach the 200 hit total for a record-tying ninth time in his career as the Reds defeated the Padres, 8-0. Paul Moskau posted the shutout on a five-hitter. Bench's grand slam, the eighth of his career, came off John D'Acquisto in the first inning. Foster homered in the fifth. With nine 200-hit seasons, Rose tied the record of Ty Cobb. [The Sporting News]
