1975 – Bill Virdon replaces Preston Gomez as Houston manager. Bob Lillis fills out the lineup card while Virdon settles in. The Mets topple the Astros, 6-3, but not before Cliff Johnson and Cesar Cedeno go deep in the ninth inning to show the team still has some life. 

The Cardinals’ Lynn McGlothen strikes out three Reds on nine pitches in the 2nd inning of a 2 – 1 victory. The loss snaps the Reds’ nine-game win streak.
