Driving in two runs with a homer and a sacrifice fly, Ted Simmons sparked the Cardinals to a 4-2 triumph over the Pirates. The sacrifice fly came in the third inning and followed singles by Lou Brock and Keith Hernandez. Simmons' home run led off the sixth stanza. The Redbirds added an insurance pair in the seventh on RBI singles by Garry Templeton and Hernandez.
