Coming out of the bullpen for his first start of the season, Chuck Taylor pitched the Cardinals to a 4-0 victory over the Dodgers. The righthander, who had made 21 relief appearances, limited the Dodgers to five hits. The Cardinals broke the six-game winning streak of Claude Osteen. Lou Brock rapped two hits, stole two bases and scored two runs. [The Sporting News]
