Garry Templeton became the first switch-hitter in major league history to collect 100 hits from each side of the plate, but the Cardinals had little else to brag about after losing a twi-night doubleheader to the Mets, 6-2 and 7-6 in 11 innings. Templeton had one hit in the opener and two in the nightcap, giving him 100 hits as a righthanded batter. The Cards' shortstop also had 111 hits swinging lefthanded.
