The Gas House Gang

Cardinals 7, Reds 3  (54-37)

The Cardinals took care of the Reds for their second straight win and six of the seven runs came on a trio of homeruns.  Orlando Cepeda belted a two run shot and Bobby Tolan sent one over the fence with nobody on base.  The big shot though was a three run homer by Julian Javier to put the Cards on the board in the second inning.

Ray Washburn improved to 5-3 on the season with the win.  He gave up three runs on ten hits with four strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  Joe Hoerner threw 3 1/3 shutout innings and he picked up his sixth save of the season.
