Charlie Leibrandt, scattering nine hits over the first 7 2/3 innings, picked up his sixth victory of the season as the Reds defeated the Cardinals, 5-2. After each team scored in the first inning, Johnny Bench clouted a solo homer in the second to put the Reds ahead, 2-1.

The Reds got three runs in the fifth. Dave Collins singled, went to second on an infield out, stole third and continued home on a throwing error by catcher Ted Simmons. Ray Knight and Junior Kennedy subsequently added RBI singles to cap the Reds' scoring. [The Sporting News]
