Driessen Stars as Reds Hammer Expos in Perez Night
Dan Driessen delivered a three hit performance with three RBIs and his fifth homer of the year to cap Tony Perez’s homecoming in Cincinnati. The crowd of nearly 40,000 gave Perez two standing ovations while Driessen shined in a 16 hit attack that built a 10-0 Reds lead and moved Cincinnati above .500 for the first time since April 9. Fred Norman started and left with a shutout bid, Pedro Borbon finished, and Montreal pitchers were shelled as the Reds swept the Expos. The Dodgers’ loss count narrowed the gap to six as St Louis beat former Red Roger Freed in 11 innings. The Reds next face Montreal at 5:30 pm.
