Charlie Leibrandt and Tom Hume combined to hurl the Reds to a 7-2 triumph over the Mets. The Reds tallied twice in the third inning on an RBI triple by Paul Householder and run-scoring groundout by Ron Oester, and picked up two more runs in the fourth on an RBI single by Mike Vail and error by New York shortstop Tom Veryzer. Eddie Milner cracked a two-run single in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
