Putting on one of their best scoring displays of the season, the Cardinals mangled the Phillies, 14-0, behind the three-hit hurling of Bob Sykes. Tommy Herr tripled to open the game and scored on a single by Leon Durham.

Before the side could be retired, the Redbirds registered four more times on a pass to Keith Hernandez, double by Ted Simmons, pass to George Hendrick, single by Ken Oberkfell and errors by Garry Maddox and Bob Boone. The Cards then poured it on with seven runs in the third. Simmons had four hits in five trips for four RBIs. [The Sporting News]
