Steve Carlton became the strikeout leader among all lefthanders in major league history when the Phillies ace fanned seven in an 8-3 victory over the Cardinals. The whiffs brought Carlton's career total to 2,836, putting him ahead of Mickey Lolich, who was the former southpaw leader with 2,832 strikeouts.

Garry Maddox hit a double and homer and Manny Trillo rapped three doubles in the Phillies' batting support for Carlton, who left the game after eight innings with his 14th victory safely stowed away. [The Sporting News]
