Terry Kennedy was the big hero as the Cardinals took two games from the Phillies, 13-7 and 2-1. The rookie catcher climaxed a six-run eighth inning in the first contest with a grand slam for his first major league homer. The circuit clout followed a pair of walks with the bases loaded by Phillie reliever Tug McGraw that broke a 7-7 tie and gave the Redbirds a 9-7 lead.

In the second game, Kennedy, pinch-hitting with runners on first and second and two out in the bottom of the ninth, blooped a single to center when Larry Bowa, Manny Trillo and Garry Maddox let the popup drop between them to plate Keith Hernandez with the winning marker. [The Sporting News]
