April 24, 1970 at St.
Louis – Cincinnati extended its winning streak to 6 games with an exciting
5-4 win at Busch memorial Stadium. There was an interesting array of Reds
heroes with Bernie Carbo (5) winning
the Action vote for MVP. His 2-run blast in the 4th tied the game at
3-3. Tommy Helms would have been a
good choice with 4 hits. Cardinals’ manager Bruce Thomas credits CF Bobby
Tolan whose throw in the B8 cut down Lou
Brock at the plate to preserve a 4-4 tie. In the T9, it was Tolan’s hustle down the 1B for an
infield single that allowed Pete Rose
to score the winning run with 2 outs.
April 25, 1970 at St.
Louis – Jose Cardenal (2) was the Cardinals show in an 11-1 rout over the
Reds. The bushy-haired one had 3 doubles, a walk, a HR, scored 3 and drove in
3. Kudos should also be given to Steve
Carlton (1-2) who tossed a complete-game 7-hitter.
April 26, 1970 at St.
Louis – Jim McGlothlin (3-1) blanked
the Redbirds on 5 hits through 8 IP. Wayne
Granger (4) recorded the final 3 outs in a 3-0 Reds win. Dave Concepcion had 3 knocks and Johnny Bench extended his hitting
streak to 13.
