Lou Brock rapped three hits, including a sixth-inning single, to become the 51st player in major league history to get 2,500 hits as the Cardinals took sole possession of third with a 6-1 victory over the Padres. Brock's key single to center was followed by Willie Davis' double for a 3-1 lead.

Ken Reitz, who had four hits, drove in the first two Cardinals runs and opened a three-run seventh with a single. After a sacrifice and winning pitcher Lynn McGlothen's single, Brock, pinch-hitter Buddy Bradford and Davis each drove in runs. McGlothen had two singles, matching his previous season output, and tossed his first complete game since June 22. [The Sporting News]
