The Cardinals scored an unearned run in the first inning and Alan Foster made the tally stand up for a 1-0 victory over the Padres in a duel with Bill Greif. Lou Brock led off with a single and was forced by Bake McBride. After Bernie Carbo walked, Ted Simmons grounded to first baseman Nate Colbert, who threw to second, forcing Carbo, but shortstop Dwain Anderson made a wild throw in attempting to complete the double play, allowing McBride to score.
