Bob Gibson, making his first start since May 31 after being taken out of the rotation by the Cardinals, was rapped for 11 hits in seven innings in a 6-1 loss to the Cubs. Jerry Morales jumped on Gibson for three straight hits, including a homer, and then made it a 4-for-4 night with a single off Mike Barlow in the ninth.

Gibson at least saved the Cardinals from being shut out, driving in their only run off Rick Reuschel with a single in the fifth, scoring Ken Reitz, who beat out a grounder deep to Bill Madlock and took second on the third baseman's wild throw. [The Sporting News]
