Hitting safely in his 14th straight game since the start of the season, Ted Simmons rapped a double and single, driving in three runs, as the Cardinals defeated the Expos, 10-4. Alan Foster, who pitched the route for the Cardinals, contributed three singles to the 15-hit attack. Foster had control trouble at the start, issuing three walks and giving up two runs on a single by Bob Bailey in the first inning. However, after allowing another run in the third, Foster kept the Expos under control except for a homer by Ken Singleton in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
