Collecting 17 hits, the Reds pounded the Mets, 8-3. Cincinnati broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth inning on a two-run single by Ron Oester and salted the game away with a four-run outburst in the sixth on consecutive singles by Tom Seaver, Eddie Milner, Oester, Dave Concepcion, Dan Driessen and Mike Vail. George Foster, in his first appearance in Cincinnati after being traded to New York, homered with a man on base in the first inning. [The Sporting News]
