A throwing error by Bob Gibson in the seventh inning allowed Enzo Hernandez to score from second with the game's only run as the Padres kept the Cardinals on the skids, 1-0. St. Louis was shut out despite getting eight hits off winner Joe McIntosh, who put down Cardinal threats in the fourth and sixth with the help of double plays.

Hernandez opened the seventh with a single and stole second. Gibson bobbled a sacrifice bunt by Bobby Tolan and threw wildly past first, with Hernandez scoring from second. [The Sporting News]
