Lambasting five Cincinnati pitchers for 23 hits, the Cardinals won their 13th game in the last 17 starts, clubbing the Reds, 14-9. The Redbirds got four runs and five hits, including a two-run double by Garry Templeton in the second inning, and staged another four-run outburst in the fourth frame, paced by five hits, including doubles by Ted Simmons and Ken Reitz.

George Hendrick singled home a tally in fifth, Lou Brock singled in the Cardinals' 11th run in the sixth and the Redbirds added another pair in the seventh on a solo homer by Simmons and a single by Jerry Mumphrey. [The Sporting News]
