Three-run homers by Ted Simmons and Joe Torre powered the Cardinals to a 10-5 victory over the Expos. Ted Sizemore walked and Tim McCarver singled ahead of Simmons' smash in the first inning. The Expos, who had a two-run triple by Jim Lyttle and two-run homer by Ken Singleton, trailed only 5-4 going into the fourth when McCarver doubled, Bernie Carbo walked and Torre homered to put the game out of reach.
