The Cardinals completed the sweep of the four-game series and handed the Astros their sixth straight loss as Bob Gibson hurled a six-hitter and coasted to a 7-3 victory. Gibby's batterymate, Ted Simmons, gave the righthander all the runs he needed with a single, double and sacrifice fly, driving in four tallies.
