Previously the only N. L. club without a victory this season, the Cardinals broke into the winning column by erupting for four runs in the seventh inning to defeat the Cubs, 6-3. Lou Brock and Ted Sizemore opened the outburst with back-to-back doubles to break a 2-2 tie. Joe Torre followed with a run-scoring single and Jose Cruz capped the rally with a homer.
