With a count of two strikes, Johnny Bench lashed at the next pitch thrown by Don Stanhouse and connected for a grand slam in the eighth inning to power the Reds to an 8-5 victory over the Dodgers. Bobby Castillo, who had followed Burt Hooton on the mound for the Dodgers, loaded the bases before Stanhouse came in to serve up Bench's 10th career grand slam. [The Sporting News]
