Cardinals Come Back Late to Clip Dodgers
The St. Louis Cardinals topped the Brooklyn Dodgers by the score of 5-3, with the largest share of the credit going to designated hitter Ken Singleton. Singleton was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Cardinals. Chris Leroux got the save, his 3rd in 3 chances. Brooklyn has now lost 4 consecutive games.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Rocky Colavito came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Brooklyn pitcher Mike A Anderson, he hit a 1-0 slider for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting St. Louis on top, 4-3.

"We did a lot of things right," said Colavito.
