Ted Simmons, Reggie Smith and Willie Davis collected nine hits among them as the Cardinals broke out of their three-game losing streak with a 7-4 victory over the Pirates, who were stopped on a five-game winning streak. Simmons had four straight singles, Davis collected a double and two singles and Smith rapped a double and single, driving in three runs. The Cards, after picking up an unearned marker in the second, added enough runs to win with four in the fifth on singles by Lou Brock, Ted Sizemore, Davis, Smith, Simmons and Ken Reitz.
