Don Hood, who came from the A.L., where he didn't bat because of the designated-hitter rule, drove in the first run of his major league career to mark the Cardinals' 5-3 victory over the Braves. Hood singled with two out in the fourth inning, scoring Dane Iorg. Ken Oberkfell then doubled, Hood stopping at third, and Tony Scott followed with a single to drive in both runners.
