Lynn McGlothen turned in a four-hit performance and batterymate Ted Simmons singled home the game's only run as the Cardinals edged the Braves, 1-0. St. Louis scored in the fourth. Ted Sizemore, at first base after hitting into a force play, moved to second when Reggie Smith walked. Simmons singled to right, scoring Sizemore, but was out trying to stretch the hit into a double.

All Atlanta hits off McGlothen were singles. The righthander set down 15 Braves in succession during one stretch. Loser Carl Morton, touched for six singles in seven frames, dropped his sixth straight decision. [The Sporting News]
