Johnny Bench’s Homer Helps Reds Win Fourth Straight

September 8, 1975 Reds 3, Padres 2 (96-47)

The Reds won their fourth straight game by coming from behind to top the Padres. San Diego took an early 2-0 lead off of starter Clay Carroll, but the Reds scored a run in the sixth on George Foster’s RBI single. In the eighth inning, Johnny Bench came up huge with a two run homer to give the Reds the lead. It was his 26th homer of the season.

Gary Nolan threw a solid six innings but walked away with no decision. He gave up only three hits, but one of those was a first inning homer by future Hall of Famer Willie McCovey. Clay Carroll improved to 7-5 with 1 2/3 shutout innings and Rawly Eastwick closed out the game and notched his eighteenth save of the season.
