Backing the five-hit pitching of Silvio Martinez with a 12-hit attack, the Cardinals prevailed over the Braves, 6-2. The Redbirds tallied twice in the first inning. After Lou Brock singled for his 2,980th hit and Ken Oberkfell grounded into a forceout, runs scored on a triple by Keith Hernandez and single by Ted Simmons. Simmons also had a run-scoring single in the fifth and George Hendrick doubled home two more markers in the same frame.
