Mounting an 18-hit attack, including homers by Ken Reitz and Joe Torre, the Cardinals scored in all but two innings to deal the Cubs' Burt Hooton his fifth straight defeat, 11-4. Four St. Louis players -- Ted Sizemore, Reitz, Torre and Ted Simmons -- each drove in two runs, and Lou Brock added his 700th career stolen base and 65th of the season.

Simmons singled home Brock in the first and Sizemore in the eighth. Sizemore scored Brock and winning pitcher John Curtis with a fourth-inning double. Reitz collected his fourth homer and a sacrifice fly, and Torre drove in a run with a third-inning single and homer in the seventh as the Cardinals defeated the Cubs for the ninth time in 12 meetings this season.
