Cardinals slip by Pirates on three-base miscue
The St Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3 2 aided by a peculiar three base error in the fifth inning. Garry Templeton reached on an infield hit that ricocheted off Frank Taveras and scored the decisive run as Willie Stargell hit a two run homer for Pittsburgh. John Denny earned the win despite allowing ten Pirate hits and the Pirates missed a chance to rally as four St Louis twin killings helped preserve the victory.
