Gil Garrido, who drove in two previous runs with sacrifice flies, broke a 7-7 tie with a triple in the 11th inning to bring the Braves an 8-7 victory over the Cardinals. The Braves built up a 7-4 lead against Bob Gibson before the Redbirds rallied to tie the score in the ninth on singles by Jose Cardenal and Vic Davalillo, a double by Lou Brock and a single by Julian Javier. Clete Boyer singled for the Braves in the 11th and scored the winning run on Garrido's triple off Frank Linzy. [The Sporting News]
