The Cardinals, who lost opener of a doubleheader, 6-1, retained their one-game lead over the Phillies in the N. L. East by breezing to an 11-0 victory in the nightcap. Mike Schmidt hit two homers for the Phillies in the first game and drove in three runs. Jay Johnstone added two runs with a triple. After a solo swat by Schmidt in the first inning, the Cardinals tied the score in the second. Ted Simmons singled and was thrown out trying to take third on a single by Joe Torre, but Torre advanced to second on the throw and crossed the plate on a single by Jose Cruz. The Phillies broke away with three runs in the seventh. Tommy Hutton and Dave Cash singled around a sacrifice by Ron Schueler before Schmidt hit his second homer of the game. Johnstone rapped his triple in the ninth.

Lou Brock, who stole one base for the Cardinals in the opener, was successful on three more thefts in the nightcap to bring his season's total to 72. The Cardinals collected 11 hits, including five doubles for the only extra-base blows of the game. [The Sporting News]
