Dan Driessen had 2 base hits and 2 RBI and Clay Carroll stopped Houston cold

as the Cincinnati Reds outscored the reeling Houston Astros 7 to

4.

 

Cincinnati tallied 4 runs in the bottom of the 5th inning.  The critical plate

appearance was by Johnny Bench who made the crowd happy when he hit a 'grand

salami' to the delight of his teammates (his 6th of the season).  Carroll,

after tossing a perfect ninth, was credited with his 1st save.  

 

Pedro Borbon(2-2) was the winner allowing 1 run in 3 and 1/3 innings. J.R.

Richard(1-1) took the loss.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 7

runs in 5 and 1/3 innings.  

 

Cincinnati now has a record of 8-6.  With the loss, Houston has a record of

3-7 lately, 5-8, worst in the division overall.
