In 1977 the Cincinnati Reds struggle with umpires as Joe Morgan and Sparky Anderson are ejected. George Foster leads in homers and RBIs with 35 and 103, while Johnny Bench and Danny Driessen fill gaps after Tony Perez’s departure. The Dodgers loom as Foster competes for MVP amid a fading Reds title bid.
George Foster belted his 36th homer about 550 feet into the red seats at Riverfront Stadium to spark a Reds comeback in an 5-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. Dan Driessen followed with a two run shot in the 10th, and Pedro Borbon notched the win. Cubs lead in NL East shortened to one game. Bruce Sutter left for tests.
Cincinnati manager Sparky Anderson fined Dave Concepcion Dan Driessen Pedro Borbon and Ed Armbrister $50 each for tardiness to the team picture session before last night's game against the Chicago Cubs. Driessen hit the game winning homer and Borbon earned the win in the Reds 5 3 win.
Detroit starter Fernando Arroyo lasted five batters as Minnesota pounded him for four runs. The Twins cruised to an 11-1 victory over the Tigers, with Lyman Bostock and Butch Wynegar each collecting three hits and Rod Carew raising his batting average to .384.
The Mets win 4-3 over the Dodgers after a rain delayed game that lasted 5 hours 33 minutes. Lee Mazzilli delivered a pinch hit RBI single in the 14th to cap the rally. Joel Youngblood and Doug Flynn also contributed in the late sequence.
