. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Larry Dierker gained his first victory since May 27 with the help of Rawly Eastwick, who pitched the last two innings, when the Cardinals defeated the Cubs, 3-1. The Cards got off to a quick start in the first inning, counting twice off Mike Krukow.

Garry Templeton singled, stole second and scored on a double by Tony Scott, After a balk moved Scott to third, Ted Simmons drove in the second run with an infield hit. The Cubs picked up their tally in the second on a triple by Bobby Murcer and sacrifice fly by Jerry Morales, but the Cards iced their victory with a marker in the eighth on singles by Keith Hernandez and Mike Anderson around a sacrifice by Ken Reitz.
