Jim Lonborg (1-1, 313 ERA) throws eight shutout innings, giving up five hits and striking out seven as Philadelphia gains a 5-1 win over the Cardinals.
Garry Maddox (.275, 2 HR, 8 RBI) hits two home runs as the Phillies hit four as a team.
Maddox started off things right away leading off the bottom of the first by sending the third pitch he sees down the line in left to give Philadelphia an early one run lead. In the sixth,
Tim McCarver (.308, 2 HR, 5 RBI) and
Ollie Brown (.308, 1 HR, 1 RBI) each hit solo shots off of reliever
Buddy Schultz to increase the lead to 3-0. Maddox launches his next leadoff long ball one inning later - 400 feet to left-center off of
John Sutton. In the eighth,
Jerry Martin scores from second on a
Terry Harmon (.533, 4 RBI) single to give the Phillies a nice five-run cushion. St. Louis finally gets on the board in the ninth as
Ted Simmons (.250, 3 HR, 7 RBI) takes Lonborg deep for a solo shot but nothing else comes of it as Lonborg shut them down.
"I'm not totally sure what it was, but the ball was just screaming HIT ME." Maddox said about his home runs.
