Lynn McGlothen and Al Hrabosky combined to pitch the Cardinals to a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. All four Cardinal runs off Rick Reuschel were unearned on two errors by Manny Trillo. McGlothen allowed only one hit until the eighth when the Cubs erupted to chase the Cards' starter with a run on a single by Mick Kelleher, double by Pete LaCock and single by Larry Biittner. Singles by Jose Cardenal and Jerry Morales then added two tallies before Al Hrabosky bore down to pick up his 10th save. [The Sporting News]
