Perez Drives Reds Past Mets With Four RBIs In Win

Johnny Bench drew little support as Mets pitchers shifted to him, and Perez delivered the timely power to spark the Reds. The night also featured Pittsburgh’s 12-5 opener over San Diego and an 18 inning second game victory for the Pirates, sealing a late surge in the NL East.
