Red Lucas pitched a complete-game five-hitter to get the win for the Reds.

I see Leo Durocher's name in the Reds lineup. I forget about him playing for the Reds at one time. When I was in the Outer Banks earlier this month I went to a used book store to look around. I found his book Nice Guys Finish Last, written in 1975, and bought it. I will start reading that in the next day or two and can't wait. I read a few snippets in it and it seemed entertaining to say the least. Didn't seem like he held Cesar Cedeno in very high regard.
