Pushing across a run in the 11th inning, the Reds edged the Dodgers, 6-5, for their second extra-inning victory in as many nights. The game was tied, 5-5, when the Reds loaded the sacks in the bottom of the 11th on a single by Dan Driessen, bunt single by Paul Householder, a passed ball and an intentional walk to Ken Griffey. Dave Concepcion then delivered a sacrifice fly to end the game. [The Sporting News]
