With Lynn McGlothen and Reggie Smith pooling their talents, the Cardinals defeated the Cubs, 5-0. McGlothen pitched a four-hitter and recorded his 12th victory and fourth shutout of the season. Smith batted in four runs, hitting a sacrifice fly in the first inning, rapping a homer with a man on base in the fifth and drawing a pass with the bases loaded in the sixth. Lou Brock stole his 50th base, marking his 10th straight season with 50 or more thefts. [The Sporting News]
