Reds Make Cardinal Wait Worthwhile
Curt Flood sparked a 7-4 win over Houston with five singles to lift the St. Louis Cardinals toward a second straight NL pennant. The game sparked champagne at Busch Stadium until Cincinnati’s later clinching elimination news arrived from the West Coast. Flood drove in three runs as Roger Maris added a homer and a sacrifice fly, aiding Steve Carlton who earned the win to improve to 13-11. The victory left St. Louis 12½ games ahead of San Francisco with 12 to play.
