Two homers by Lou Brock and one by Joe Torre enabled the Cardinals to defeat the Braves, 4-2. Brock led off the first inning with a circuit clout and the Cardinals added a run in the second on a double by Jose Cardenal and a single by Mike Shannon. Torre homered in the fourth and Brock hit his second round-tripper of the game in the eighth.
