A homer by Bobby Tolan with two men on base in the eighth inning carried the Padres to a 6-5 victory over the Cardinals in a sweep of the three-game series. Bob Gibson, who started for the Cardinals, yielded only three hits but walked eight before being lifted in the seventh inning while leading, 5-3. Ted Simmons drove in two runs for the Cardinals with a homer and Reggie Smith accounted for two with a double.

In the Padres' eighth, with two men out, Bob Barton walked and Rod Gaspar ran for him. Dave Winfield was credited with an infield hit on a grounder deep to shortstop Mike Tyson, who threw late to second in an attempted forceout. Tolan then swung at Mike Garman's first pitch to him and hit the game-winning homer. [The Sporting News]
