Paul Householder continued to be the only Reds' player to hit a home run this season, clubbing his second game-winning homer in leading Cincinnati to an 8-2 triumph over the Giants. The combined four-hit pitching of Bruce Berenyi and Tom Hume helped the Reds halt their six-game losing streak.

Householder broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth inning and the Reds scored two runs in the sixth on a triple by Ron Oester, sacrifice fly by Dan Driessen and consecutive singles by Johnny Bench, Cesar Cedeno and Mike Vail. Two San Francisco errors and a wild pitch helped Cincinnati to score four more runs in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
