Old Reliables Deliver as Gibson and Brock Lead Cards
In Chicago, veteran sluggers Bob Gibson and Lou Brock propelled the St. Louis Cardinals to a 9-4 win over the Cubs. Gibson, now in relief, earned his first save of the season and contributed a run via sacrifice fly, while Brock, despite an ankle injury, hit a bases loaded double in a decisive eighth inning rally. Brock also teased a return to form with baserunning and multiple scoring chances as the Cardinals capitalized on early offense from Bake McBride and a shaky Cubs start by John Denny.
