Reds Sweep Cubs to Gain On Dodgers in Tight NL East Race
Cincinnati tops Chicago 2-1 in game one and 8-5 in game two to take a game and a half lead over Los Angeles. Johnny Bench homered twice in the twin bill as Gary Nolan pitched well and Sparky Anderson praised his stopper. Bench's two-run shot sparked a late rally and Perez drove in three runs in the nightcap. Cincinnati improved to 22 of 27 at home, while Chicago dropped to fourth in the division as Pedro Borbon and Reuschel took losses. The Reds next host Pittsburgh with Fred Norman facing Jerry Reuss in a national broadcast.
