The Phillies called on two relief pitchers in the eighth inning and both were whacked for homers as the Cardinals erupted for four runs to gain a 5-1 victory. Lou Brock greeted the arrival of Joe Hoerner with a circuit clout. After Matty Alou doubled and Ted Simmons walked, Darrell Brandon took over and served up a three-run homer by Jose Cardenal.
