Cincinnati got a terrific game from pinch hitter Dexter Beckwith. It wasn't enough, though, to prevent the team from falling to Cleveland, 9-8. Beckwith was 1-1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Joe Clabaugh, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1965, earned the save for Cleveland. Today's win puts Cleveland at 23-26, while Cincinnati falls to 15-36.

Benito Olivas went 2-4 with 2 singles and 2 walks for Cleveland. The 25-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring walk off Erv Koenig. It was his 19th walk of the season.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Cleveland skipper Daniel Mays.
