Ted Simmons singled home the tie-breaking run in the ninth inning as the Cardinals downed the Phillies, 7-5. Ted Sizemore singled to open the inning and moved to second on a sacrifice. After Reggie Smith was intentionally walked, Simmons delivered his key hit. Smith scored an insurance run as Keith Hernandez grounded out. The Cards pounded Steve Carlton early, grabbing a three-run lead in the second. Smith tripled, Simmons singled, Hernandez walked, Ken Reitz singled and Ed Brinkman and Bob Gibson delivered sacrifice flies.
