After trailing, 3-0, the Cardinals came from behind to win the first game of a twi-night doubleheader, 4-3, before losing the second game to the Phillies, 5-2. Greg Luzinski drove in a run with a double in the first inning and Jay Johnstone plated a pair with a two-bagger in the second to stake the Phillies to their early lead in the lidlifter. After the Cards picked up a run in their half of the second, Reggie Smith homered in the sixth and drove 
in the tying tally with a single in the seventh. Then in the eighth, Mario Guerrero singled and raced home with the winning run on a double by Ted Sizemore.

In the nightcap, after Smith homered to tie the score at 1-1 in the fifth inning, Luzinski hit for the circuit to break a deadlock in the sixth. The Phillies put their winning margin on the scoreboard in the seventh, loading the bases and counting three runs on an infield out by Dick Allen and double by Ollie Brown. [The Sporting News]
