Lou Brock collected three hits to raise his career total to 2,985 and drove in the Cardinals' deciding run with a single in the ninth inning to beat the Phillies, 5-4. A double by Garry Templeton, triple by Brock and single by Tony Scott started the Cards' scoring in the first inning. After adding an unearned run in the second, the Cards counted in the seventh on a single by Templeton, double by Brock and infield out by Keith Hernandez.

Pete Rose had a pair of run-scoring doubles for the Phillies and Greg Luzinski homered. Garry Maddox hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth to tie the score at 4-4, but Mike Phillips tripled for the Cards in the ninth and counted on Brock's third hit. [The Sporting News]
