Friday June 11. Chicago opened te scoring in the first but the Reds got single runs in the 4th and 6th. The Cubs tied the game in the botom of the sixth. In the top of the 8th Pete Rose singled home a go ahead run. But in the bottom of the 8th, Ron Santo tripled, Joe Ortiz, batting for Joe Pepitone, singled him home but then was thrown out trying to stretch the single into a double. Ernie Banks then pinchhit for Paul Popovich and hit his second pinchhit home of the sason. Bill Hands made the lead stand up in the 9th for his 7th win against 5 losses. Joe Gibbon took the loss(1-1) blowing his second save opportunity. Cubs 4 Reds 3
Saturday June 12. Reds starter Jim McGlothlin came into the game with an era under 2.00. So i figured that he might only allow one run to the Cubs. Which is what he did over seven innings. What didnt figure is that Ken Holtzman, who came into the game with a 6.02 era, would allow no runs and pitch a complete game shutout. The Red loaded the bases with no outs in the 9th only to have Holtzman strike out Johnny Bench and Tony Perez and get George Foster on a fly out. It was Holtzman's 4th win against 9 losses. McGlothlin fell to 4-3. Cubs 1 Reds 0
Sunday June 13. All the scoring came in the bootom of the 5th. With one out Don Kessenger doubled, Glenn Beckert (who went 7-12 in the series to raise his average to .416) tripled, Billy Willams singled, Ron Santo doubled and Joe Pepitone. Fergie Jenkins (8-5) had a 4-0 lead and he made it stand up. The Reds didnt get a hit until the sixth inning and only two more thereafter. Gary Nolan (3-8) took the loss. Cubs 4 Reds 0
