A decent start by Dick Hughes went to waste in a decent start in the Cards loss to the Mets.  He gave up three runs on ten hits and one walk with one strikeout in 6 2/3 innings.  Joe Hoerner gave up two runs in his 1 2/3 innings and he took the loss.

Mike Shannon homered and drove in three runs.  Orlando Cepeda went two for three with two walks and a run.
