The eleven-game winning streak of Mike Torrez, going back to last June, came to an end when the Cubs defeated the Cardinals, 7-5. Don Kessinger, who had an inside-the-park homer among his three hits, and Billy Williams each batted in three runs for the Cubs. Leron Lee and Joe Torre homered for the Cardinals. Lee's homer, coming with two men on base in the fourth inning, was the first of the rookie outfielder's major league career. [The Sporting News]
