May 4, 1976 at Shea Stadium
Mets 5, Reds 3 (11-9)
The Reds dropped their second straight game as they traveled to New York to take on the Mets. Fred Norman only logged two innings and gave up two runs on no hits (yes, you’re reading this right) and five walks. In the bottom of the second, Norman walked the leadoff man before getting one out. Then he walked three batters in succession, including the pitcher for the Mets, Tom Seaver, before getting out number two that resulted in the second run of the inning.
Pedro Borbon didn’t fare too well either. In the bottom of the third, he gave up two more runs to give Hall of Famer Tom Seaver a comfortable four run cushion.
Pete Rose and Ken Griffey both had two hits and Joe Morgan drew three walks and scored. The Reds scored all three of their runs in different innings.
