A five-run outburst in the first inning enabled the Cardinals to outlast the Padres, 7-4. Lou Brock led off with a single, Jim Beauchamp doubled and the first run counted on a groundout by Joe Torre. Jose Cardenal doubled to drive in Brock and scored himself on a single by Julian Javier. After a walk to Jerry McNertney, Ted Sizemore capped the inning with a two-run double.

Chris Zachary, who needed relief with one out in the ninth, gained his first victory in a Cardinals' uniform and his first in the major leagues since September 24, 1967, when he pitched for the Astros and beat the Mets, 3-2. [The Sporting News]
