Helping himself with three hits, Lynn McGlothen gained his ninth victory of the season when the Cardinals defeated the Braves, 6-3. Every one of the righthander's hits figured in the Cardinal scoring. In the second inning, Joe Torre singled, Mike Tyson was safe on an error and McGlothen singled to drive in Torre. Tyson then came home on a double by Lou Brock. McGlothen singled again in the seventh, moved up when Brock walked and scored on a single by Ted Sizemore.

The Cardinals added what proved to be their winning margin in the ninth. McGlothen and Brock singled. After a sacrifice by Sizemore and intentional pass to Bake McBride, Ted Simmons walked to force in McGlothen. Torre followed with a single to drive in the Cards' last two runs. Darrell Evans homered for the Braves, who threatened against McGlothen in the ninth when Dusty Baker singled and Hank Aaron doubled with one out, but Al Hrabosky relieved and retired the side with one run scoring on a sacrifice fly by Mike Lum.
