The lightest hitter in the Cardinals' lineup, Dal Maxvill rapped a pair of doubles, driving in one run and paving the way for another, to help beat the Padres, 3-2. Jose Cardenal singled in the second inning, took third on a single by Ted Simmons and scored on a double steal.

Maxvill then scored Simmons with a double. Simmons singled again in the seventh and counted the winning run on Maxvill's second double and an error charged to Dave Campbell, who failed to handle Ollie Brown's throw from the outfield. [The Sporting News]
