John Denny pitched six no hit innings with relief from Mike Wallace in a St Louis win over Montreal. Jorgensen hit a second homer in the ninth for Montreal. Cesar Cedeno homered as Houston won the opener of a doubleheader over San Diego. Willie McCovey drove in four in the nightcap as Randy Jones stayed unbeaten for San Diego.
