The Cardinals went on one of the biggest scoring sprees in their long history and overwhelmed the Cubs, 21-3. Ted Simmons and Hector Cruz drove in four runs apiece to lead the attack in support of John Denny, who gained his fifth straight victory. The Cardinal and modern National League record for runs in one game is 28 against the Phillies July 6, 1929.
