Enjoying their biggest inning of the season, the Cardinals erupted for eight runs in the sixth and defeated the Giants, 9-2. The Cards began their outburst with walks to Ted Sizemore and Jim Dwyer and run-scoring singles by Ted Simmons and Ron Fairly.

After a run counted on a wild pitch, Keith Hernandez walked and Mike Tyson singled to add another counter. John Curtis walked to load the bases for Lou Brock, who doubled to drive in two runs. Sizemore, up for a second time, hit a sacrifice fly and Dwyer then capped the big inning with a single for run No. 8. [The Sporting News]
