Jim Barr pitched the Giants to a 5-1 victory and continued his career mastery of the Cardinals, whom he defeated for the ninth time in 12 decisions. The veteran righthander held the Cards scoreless until the ninth inning when Hector Cruz and Ted Simmons hit back-to-back doubles. Terry Whitfield had a homer, double and single for the Giants, while Darrell Evans drove in two runs with a double and infield out. [The Sporting News]
