August 31, 1975 Cardinals 5, Reds 3 (90-45)
The Reds tried to come back from a 4-0 deficit but fell just short against the Cardinals. Jack Billingham was hit hard as he gave up three runs on six hits in only four innings of work. Clay Carroll had a hard time as well after relieving Billingham and the run he gave up ended up being the difference.
Ken Griffey went three for five with a run and Joe Morgan was two for five with a run. George Foster had the Reds only extra base hit when he doubled off of rookie starter Eric Rasmussen.
Despite ending the month on a losing note, the Reds went 21-8 through the month of August. It was the third straight month that they’d won 20 or more games.
