After retiring the first 21 batters in succession, John Curtis had to settle for a one-hitter in pitching the Cardinals to a 3-1 victory over the Padres. Ted Simmons homered in the seventh inning to account for the Cards' first run. Curtis' bid for a perfect game was spoiled when the lefthander walked Dave Winfield in the eighth. After a sacrifice by Cito Gaston and another pass to Derrel Thomas, Dave Hilton flied out, Winfield taking third after the catch. Fred Kendall then rapped a ground single to left field for the Padres' lone hit to drive in Winfield.
