Ending a three-game losing streak, the Dodgers breezed to a 9-3 decision over the Cardinals behind the steady pitching of Burt Hooton. Hooton aided his own cause with a fourth-inning single to highlight a three-run rally. The Dodgers tallied three more times in the fifth, the key blow being a two-run single by Joe Ferguson. Ron Cey added a bases-loaded single in the sixth. [The Sporting News]
