Bench Todd Remain Ok After Cancer Fears In Twinbill Split
Cincinnati slugger Johnny Bench drove in four runs as the Reds won the opener 1 0 and New York reliever Jackson Todd sparkled in relief to help the Mets edge Cincinnati 4 3 in 11 innings. Todd survived a bases loaded jam and cancer scare from 1975 while Bench battled a lung lesion and shoulder surgery in a season marked by a cross country road trip and a pending knee check. Todd said he beat cancer and Bench quipped about liking to be the designated hitter as the teams split the doubleheader. The Reds head to West Coast games against the Giants and Dodgers.
