Two unearned runs enabled the Cardinals to defeat the Padres, 3-1. In the fifth inning, Reggie Cleveland walked, Lou Brock singled and, after a sacrifice by Luis Melendez, Joe Torre was passed intentionally. Derrel Thomas then booted a grounder by Ted Simmons, one run scoring, and another followed on a sacrifice fly by Tim McCarver. Melendez singled in the eighth and scored from first base when Simmons singled and Cito Gaston let the ball get away from him in right field.
