A two-run single by Ron Fairly with the bases loaded in the sixth inning proved the difference when the Cardinals defeated the Giants, 3-1. Lou Brock singled, Willie Crawford hit a bloop double and Ted Simmons was handed an intentional pass before Fairly stroked his single off John Montefusco. Lynn McGlothen started for the Cardinals but was removed after a 37-minute delay because of rain in the eighth inning. Al Hrabosky finished.
