Ken Reitz and Bill Stein batted in all of the Cardinals' runs between them to defeat the Padres, 5-3. Reitz homered with two men on base in the second inning. The Padres came back to tie the score with the aid of round-trippers by Nate Colbert and Jerry Morales, but the Cardinals broke the deadlock in the eighth when Luis Melendez and Reitz singled and Stein drove them home with a double.
