The Cardinals capitalized on five errors and scored nine unearned runs in breezing to a 14-3 victory over the Cubs. Jose Cardenal and Joe Hague each batted in four runs. Steve Carlton, a Cardinal disappointment last season, pitched the route on an eight-hitter, including a two-run homer by Billy Williams.
