Bake McBride batted in four runs to offset a pair of homers by Greg Luzinski and carry the Cardinals to a 6-3 victory over the Phillies before a Veterans Stadium home opener crowd of 44,834. McBride drove in three of his runs with an inside-the-park homer in the third inning after Lou Brock singled and Ted Sizemore walked. He lined deep into right-center off outfielder Mike Anderson's glove and the ball rolled to the wall. There was no play at the plate. McBride drove in the Cards' fourth run with a Texas League single after Brock tripled in the seventh inning.
