Lou Brock stole the 800th base of his career in the first inning when the Cardinals scored three runs to start on their way to a 6-2 victory over the Braves. After Brock singled and stole second, Willie Davis doubled, Brock stopping at third. Ted Simmons grounded to Rob Belloir and was safe at first as Brock scored when the Braves failed to catch Davis in a rundown between second and third.

Davis then crossed the plate on a grounder by Reggie Smith and Simmons made it home when Earl Williams bobbled a grounder by Ted Sizemore. Brock added his 801st stolen base in the fourth inning. [The Sporting News]
