Ken Oberkfell and Keith Hernandez batted in three runs apiece and Garry Templeton rapped four hits in five trips as the Cardinals defeated the Cubs, 8-2. Hernandez accounted for his RBIs with a homer in the sixth inning. Jim Kaat, acquired from the Yankees, made his first appearance in a Cardinal uniform and retired the last five batters after relieving winner Pete Vuckovich. [The Sporting News]
