. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Mike Torrez, who lasted the route for the first time since June 12, also starred at bat with four straight hits while pitching the Cardinals to a 3-1 victory over the Braves. Singles by Orlando Cepeda and Hal King, together with a sacrifice fly by Bob Aspromonte, produced a Braves' run in the second inning.

The Cards tied the score in the third when Torrez doubled and Dick Allen singled. Leron Lee singled in the eighth, advanced on a passed ball and counted the tie-breaking run on a single by Dal Maxvill. Torrez then singled and Lou Brock doubled to add an insurance marker. [The Sporting News]
