Randy Jones and Jack Billingham both pitched wonderful games however Johnny Bench's 3-run shot helps upend the Padres. Reds 3...Padres 2.
Game 2 at Riverfront,
Another tight one as Gary Nolan and Clay Kirby squared off near the Ohio River. Dave Winfield smacked his 3rd homerun of the year. Unfortunately for the Padres, Winfield seems to be the only offense the swingin friars could muster so far. Joe Morgan hit a solo homerun and RBI hits by Concepcion and Griffey aided in edging the Padres 3-1.
Game 3 at San Diego Stadium,
Johnny Bench and Geronimo hit homeruns to lead a 12 run Red onslaught on Padre pitching. San Diego starter, Steve Arlin was hammered for 10 runs and left after 5 innings. Bench knocked in 5 runs in this laugh-er...Reds 12...Padres 2.
Game 4 at San Diego Stadium,
Don Gullett was masterful as he pitched 8 shutout innings to complete the Red four game sweep of the Padres. Hal McRae hit his first homerun of the season while George Foster drove in 3 runs in the Cincinnati 6-0 white washing.
