Joe Torre drove in two runs with a double in the third inning and Ted Simmons added two with a homer in the eighth to carry the Cardinals to a 4-1 victory over the Astros. Torre, who tripled ahead of Simmons' homer, also had a single in his 3-for-3 night, raising his league-leading batting average to .360. Steve Carlton recorded his 17th victory, matching the southpaw's previous season high in 1969.
