Lou Brock stole his 104th and 105th bases, breaking Maury Wills' one-season modern record, but his speed failed to offset the power of Mike Schmidt, who drove in four runs with a homer and two doubles to lead the Phillies to an 8-2 victory over the Cardinals. Brock's two thefts raised his career total to 740 for the modern N. L. record, surpassing Max Carey's mark of 738.

Schmidt hit his homer after a triple by Larry Bowa in the first inning. Brock's first stolen base of the game helped the Cardinals tie the score in their half of the first, but the Phillies went ahead to stay in the third when Bowa singled, stole second and Schmidt doubled. Three more runs followed in the fifth on a triple by Dave Cash, pass to Bowa, double by Schmidt and single by Willie Montanez.

Brock stole his 105th base of the season, one more than Wills, in the seventh. However, he was thrown out by Phillies' catcher Bob Boone on another theft attempt in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
