Ken Reitz, who went into the game batting only .177, hit his first major league homer to enable the Cardinals to defeat the Giants, 3-1. Ted Simmons was safe on an error by Willie McCovey before Reitz connected for his round-tripper off Ron Bryant in the sixth inning to delight 10 members of his family, including his parents, from nearby Daly City, Calif.
