Lou Brock, becoming only the third man in modern baseball history to steal 90 bases in one season, ignited a four-run rally in the seventh inning as the Cardinals defeated the Padres, 5-1. Brock, who was thrown out for the 21st time in the first inning, pilfered his 90th base in the fifth and then singled and stole No. 91 in the seventh.

After walks to Reggie Smith and Joe Torre loaded the bases, Bake McBride batted in two runs with a single and Ted Simmons drove in two more with a double. Simmons also doubled home the Cards' first run following a triple by McBride in the sixth. Johnny Grubb homered for the Padres' run in their half of the sixth. The only previous major league thieves with at least 90 stolen bases in the present era were Ty Cobb in 1915 and Maury Wills in 1962 and '65. [The Sporting News]
