The Cardinals swept a doubleheader for the first time this season, beating the Mets in a twi-night affair, 7-0 and 4-1. John Denny posted the shutout on a four-hitter. Joe Ferguson hit the first grand-slam homer of his major league career and drove in a fifth run with a single. The catcher's jackpot wallop came off Mickey Lolich in the third inning after Denny beat out a bunt and both Garry Templeton and Keith Hernandez walked. Mike Anderson added a homer in the eighth.
