For the second time in a week, Ted Simmons drove in five runs for the Cardinals, three of them with his sixth homer, as St. Louis built a 7-0 lead then turned back a ninth-inning rally by the Phlllies to win, 7-4. Winning pitcher Reggie Cleveland had a four-hit shutout until the ninth, when a double by Bill Robinson and singles by Denny Doyle, Greg Luzinski and Tommy Hutton produced two Phillie runs.

Orlando Pena relieved after a walk to Mike Rogodzinski and yielded a two-run single to Bob Boone before retiring the side to pick up the save. The victory was the ninth for Cleveland, who was aboard, together with Joe Torre, when Simmons homered in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
