The Cardinals extended their winning streak to seven games by defeating the Cubs in a twi-night doubleheader, 13-8 and 5-3. Jerry Mumphrey drove in three runs with an inside-the-park homer for the Cards in the opener and Garry Templeton had four hits, batting in two runs and scoring three.

Lou Brock had two of the Cards' 10 hits in the nightcap to bring his career total to 2,994. Brock singled, stole second and scored on a single by Keith Hernandez in the third inning. Another single by Brock and a stolen base sparked a four-run outburst in the fifth.

Mumphrey singled for his third hit of the game and fifth of the doubleheader to drive in Brock. Keith Hernandez, who had four hits, doubled to score Mumphrey and Bernie Carbo then accounted for the Cards' winning margin with a two-run homer. Dave Kingman hit his 38th and 39th homers, one in each game. [The Sporting News]
