. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Lynn McGlothen, who did not bat with the Red Sox last season because of the A. L.'s use of designated hitters, drove in the Cardinals' first two runs with a double in the fifth inning to start himself off to a 6-2 victory over the Phillies, who were stopped on their six-game winning streak. A walk to Ted Sizemore, double by Reggie Smith and sacrifice fly by Bake McBride added a run in the sixth. The Cards made it 4-2 with a run in the seventh on a double by Lou Brock and single by Sizemore. Ken Reitz iced the victory, driving in the last two tallies with a single in the eighth.
