May 25, 1975 Reds 4, Phillies 3 (24-20)

This was one those games where the Reds went up early, only to have the opposition come back and make it tight. Cesar Geronimo came up big for the Reds in the bottom of the third, getting a three run double off of Phillies’ starter Jim Lonborg. The Reds added a run in the fourth on a solo shot by George Foster, his seventh homer of the season.

Reds’ starter Clay Kirby pitched a nice game, but eventually let the Phils back into the game. He gave up only six hits and one walk in 7 2/3 innings, but he gave up three runs to make the game a tight one. Rawly Eastwick finished up the game to earn his first save of the season.
