With Bob Gibson pitching a four-hitter for his eighth straight victory, the Cardinals breezed past the Phillies, 7-0. Gibson was handed more than an adequate working margin in the first inning when the Cardinals scored three times on five singles, together with a double steal. Dick Allen pilfered second and, on the throw, Carl Taylor stole home. [The Sporting News]
