Jose Rijo, Tim Layana, and Rosario Rodriguez combined on a three-hitter in a losing effort for the Reds. The only hits for the Dodgers were back-to-back singles by Jim Niedlinger and Lenny Harris with two outs in the fourth inning, and a single by Mike Sharperson with nobody out in the sixth. Prior to the game, the Reds claimed C Alex Treviño off waivers from the Mets.

HR: None.

Johnny Klippstein pitched 6.1 innings of one-hit shutout relief with 5 K's to get the win for the Reds.

I always liked Rocky Bridges. Funny and had lots of good quotes for the writers. But, man, giving up Joe Adcock to get him. Not a good trade...one of my least favorites of the 50's.
