A two-run double by Johnny Bench and a two-run homer by George Foster were the big blows as the Reds downed the Dodgers, 6-4. The Reds scored three runs in the third inning on a single by Tom Seaver, double by Pete Rose, single by Dave Concepcion and Bench's two-bagger. Rose had an RBI double in the fourth. Foster's round-tripper came in the fifth following a single by Ken Griffey.
