A run-scoring single by Johnny Bench climaxed a two-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning that lifted the Reds to a 9-8 triumph over the Pirates. The Reds trailed, 8-7, when Dave Collins began the bottom of the ninth with a walk and raced to third when third baseman Phil Garner misplayed a sacrifice bunt by Ken Griffey.
