Dave Conception contributed |ree hits including the only dou ble in the Reds’ 11-hit attack, but Berenyi was the force that stopped Houston’s 12-game home win streak. He allowed only four hits and struck out 12 batters, nine in a streak from the fourth inning to the ninth when he set down 20 straight hitters. “All I threw were the fastball and the slider. They were both working well. I kept telling myself before the game that I was gonna mix a couple of change-ups in, but I didn’t need to,” Berenyi said. Unfortunately for the Reds, they can’t take a winning combina tion — Berenyi pitching in the Astrodome — with them on the road. He’s 3-0 under a roof this year, and his performance Mon day was his best, Astros Manager Bill Virdon said. “That’s about the best stuff and the best natural stuff as I’ve seen in a long time. His fastball and his breaking ball are similar to J.R.’s stuff,” Virdon said, referring to idled Astros all-star pitcher J.R. Ricahrd. Berenyi pitched under pressure the entire game partly due to Bench’s fielding error in the first inning. He failed to barehand a grounder, and Houston pushed across an unearned run later in the inning to tie the score 2-2. Bench’s two-run single in the first temporarily gave the Reds a lead, and with his team leading 3-2 in the eighth, he singled to send Conception home from second base with an insurance run.
