Two nights after winning a 25-inning game with the Mets, the Cardinals were forced into another marathon contest that ended with a 7-3 victory over the Phillies in 17 innings. The Cardinals had set an N.L. record for players used, 26, in the game with the Mets, but the Phillies broke that mark by calling on 27. The Cards employed 24 and the two-team total of 51 established an N.L. record.

The Cards took advantage of Jim Lonborg's wildness to score a run in the first inning. Lou Brock and Ted Sizemore walked, Reggie Smith was hit by a pitch and Brock crossed the plate as Ted Simmons rolled into a double play. The Phillies came back with two runs in the second on a single by Greg Luzinski, pass to Del Unser and singles by Bob Boone and Dave Cash. The Cards tied the score in the third when Brock tripled and Smith singled. The contest then produced a procession of zeroes until the 17th when consecutive singles by Simmons, Keith Hernandez and Bake McBride broke a 2-2 tie. After an intentional pass to Ken Reitz, Luis Melendez also walked to force in another run. Jerry DaVanon and Brock each hit a sacrifice fly and Sizemore singled to produce the fifth run of the outbrust. [The Sporting News]
