***SPOILER ALERT***
From Wikipedia:
Once again, the Phillies got a strong starting pitching performance that went for naught. Jim Kaat held the Reds to one hit after six innings. Meanwhile, his teammates provided him a 3–0 lead via a consecutive doubles in the fourth by Mike Schmidt and Greg Luzinski and RBI doubles by Garry Maddox and Schmidt in the seventh.
But, in the bottom of the seventh, Kaat began to lose it. Ken Griffey led off with a single, Joe Morgan walked, and Tony Perez singled home Griffey. George Foster followed with a sacrifice fly. After a walk to Johnny Bench, Phils reliever Ron Reed retired Dave Concepción, but then surrendered a two-run triple to César Gerónimo to put the Reds ahead 4–3.
The Reds then sent Rawly Eastwick in to close the game out in the eighth, but his troubles from Game 1 continued. Jay Johnstone led off with a double and went to third on an Eastwick wild pitch as Bob Boone walked. Larry Bowa doubled in Johnstone and Dave Cash hit a sacrifice fly to give the Phils the lead back at 5–4. The Phils added another run in the top of the ninth on an RBI triple by Johnstone to make it 6–4.
With Reed still on the mound for the ninth, Foster and Bench hit back-to-back solo homers to tie the game….
Tune in. It’s gonna be good.
