Batting safely in his 25th straight game, Beckert had a 4-for-4 day, but the Cubs lost to the Cardinals, 6-4. Ted Simmons had four hits in five trips for the Redbirds. The Cubs took a 4-3 lead when Randy Hundley homered with a man on base in the third, but a round-tripper by Ken Reitz tied the score in the seventh. The Cardinals, facing Jack Aker in the ninth, broke away to win with two runs on an error and singles by Mike Tyson, Ed Crosby and Lou Brock.
