The Cardinals exploded for a five-run third inning and went on to post a 7-4 victory over the Dodgers. The decisive frame opened with a single by starting pitcher John Curtis and was followed by Lou Brock's single, a double by Ted Sizemore to score one run and a pass to Luis Melendez. Ted Simmons then stroked a ground-rule double, scoring two runs and sending Doug Rau, who was seeking his fifth straight win, to the showers. Ken Reitz greeted reliever Rick Rhoden with another double to send the final two tallies of the inning across the plate.
