Al Santorini turned in his second complete-game shutout in 62 major league starts, pitching the Cardinals to a 6-0 victory over the Phillies. The righthander's other shutout was achieved while with the Padres against the Mets August 29, 1969. Batterytmate Ted Simmons provided Santorini's principal support against the Phillies, driving in two runs and scoring two while collecting a double and two singles. [The Sporting News]
