Jose Cardenal drove in five runs, including two with a single in the ninth inning when the Cardinals rallied for three runs to defeat the Padres, 8-7. Cardenal homered in the fourth, doubled in the sixth and walked with the bases loaded in the eighth to account for his first three RBIs of the game. Nate Colbert and Dave Campbell hit homers for the Padres, who went ahead in the eighth, 7-5, with three runs on a pass to Steve Huntz with the bases loaded and a single by Ollie Brown. In the ninth, after a safe bunt by Vic Davalillo and a forceout by Lou Brock, Julian Javier and Joe Hague singled to produce one run. Then, after Milt Ramirez walked to load the bases, Cardenal capped his big day with the deciding single. [The Sporting News]
