The Phillies' string of 13 straight victories in road games was halted by the Cardinals, 7-1. Bob Forsch, starting for the 11th time, achieved his first victory of the season, scattering seven hits. Larry Christenson, who had won five games in a row, absorbed the loss. The Phils committed four errors as compared with their previous total of only 26 for the first 43 games of the year.
