Handing the Expos their second whitewashing in as many games, the Cardinals posted a 2-0 victory as Bob Forsch, with relief help from Mark Littell, gained credit for his first win of the season. The Redbirds scored both their runs off Bill Lee in the sixth inning. Lou Brock connected for a one-out single and Keith Hernandez walked with two men out. Ted Simmons then belted a double off the left field wall, scoring both runners.
