The new ace of the Cardinals' staff, Lynn McGlothen, who was obtained from the Red Sox, brought his record to 6-2 with a 7-1 victory over the Cubs. McGlothen yielded only five hits with the Cubs' run scoring in the eighth inning on a single by Don Kessinger, infield out by Billy Williams and single by Jose Cardenal. Ted Simmons, Joe Torre and Jose Cruz each collected two of the Cardinals' 11 hits. Burt Hooton's fate as the Cubs' starter was sealed when the Cardinals scored twice in the fourth inning on a double by Ted Sizemore, error by Kessinger, single by Simmons and sacrifice fly by Torre.
