Steve Carlton, who had lost 14 games, including the last five in succession, became a winner for only the sixth time this season when the Cardinals defeated the Astros, 5-1. The Cardinals broke Carlton's scoreless duel with Ron Cook by scoring four runs in the eighth inning. Mike Shannon doubled and Carlton singled for the first tally. After a forceout by Lou Brock and a single by Julian Javier, Brock and Javier worked a double steal. The Astros passed Carl Taylor intentionally to load the bases. Dick Allen seized the opportunity, driving in two runs with a single. Taylor, who reached third, then scored on a wild pitch.
