The Cardinals reached their season's high in hits with 22, including four apiece by Lou Brock, Joe Torre and Luis Melendez, to beat the Cubs, 9-2. Torre put the most wood into his blows, getting a triple, two doubles and a single. In 15 games against the Cubs this season, Torre had 31 hits in 56 times at bat for a .554 average. As a result of the defeat, the Cubs dropped out of a second-place tie with the idle Mets in the East division race, but remained two games behind the Pirates, who also lost to the Phillies.
