Showing the form that made him the league's 1979 batting champion, Keith Hernandez went 5-for-5 to spark the Cardinals in a 10-1 rout of the Phillies. The first baseman stroked a single in the first inning to score Garry Templeton, who had opened the game with a three-bagger.

He also singled to start a two-run third frame and drove in a pair of markers with a bases-loaded single in the fifth. Ken Oberkfell hit a two-run inside-the-park homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
