Red Sox Even Series With Reds Behind Five Run Fourth Inning

1975 World Series Game 4

October 15, 1975 Red Sox 5, Reds 4 Best of Seven Series Tied 2-2

Luis Tiant took the mound for the second time in the series as he faced off against Fred Norman at Riverfront Stadium. In game one, Tiant threw a five hit shutout. In game four, the Reds finally figured out the Cuban hurler as they got to him in the very first inning. Pete Rose led off with a single and Ken Griffey doubled him home to make it 1-0. Griffey was gunned down at third trying to stretch his double into a triple, but the Reds continued their rally. Joe Morgan walked and Tony Perez moved him over to second with a ground out. Johnny Bench then doubled home Morgan, and the Reds had a nice 2-0 lead after only one inning of play.

Disaster struck the Reds in the fourth inning. Fred Norman and reliever Pedro Borbon gave up a combined six hits and five runs. To make even worse, Tony Perez’ error extended the inning and led to one of the runs being unearned.

The Reds immediately answered in the bottom of the fourth. With two outs, George Foster singled and moved to second on Denny Doyle’s error. Dave Concepcion doubled to drive home Foster, and then Cesar Geronimo tripled and drove home Foster to cut the lead to a single run. Terry Crowley struck out to end the inning, and that runner on third was stranded.

The Reds threatend in the fifth by getting runners to second and third with two outs, but once again they were unable to get a run home. Tiant held the Reds to three hits through the final four innings and he walked away with his second win of the series.
