A four-run outburst in the first inning and steady pitching by John Denny enabled the Cardinals to upend the Reds, 4-1. In the first, with the bases full on three walks, a single by Jerry Morales drove in two runs. A single by Garry Templeton added another run and Morales then scored the fourth run of the inning on a wild pitch. The Redbirds didn't have a runner reach base again until Lou Brock singled in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
