Supported by three homers, Mike Torrez beat the Phillies, 4-1, to give the Cardinals their fifth straight victory in the club's longest winning streak of the season. Carl Taylor opened the Cardinals' scoring with a circuit clout in the first inning. Julian Javier homered in the sixth and, after Dick Allen was safe on an error, Jose Cardenal also rapped a round-tripper. [The Sporting News]
