Dan Driessen beat out a drag bunt in the eighth inning, then scored from first base with what proved to be the winning run when a pinch-single by Johnny Bench was misplayed by right fielder Jerry Turner as the Reds downed the Padres, 4-3. Joe Lefebvre stroked a solo homer in the seventh and a two-run homer in the ninth for the Padres. [The Sporting News]
