GM# 118 AUGUST 12,1971 VS ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
CARDS OVERCOME POOR START FROM CARLTON TO BEAT BUCS, 7-4
It was not the start the Cardinals were looking for from Steve Carlton, who gave up four runs in just three innings, but St. Louis battled back, scoring twice in the fifth and three more times in the sixth, to go on and defeat Pittsburgh, 7-4, in the series opener.
Ted Sizemore and Lou Brock led the Cardinal offense with three hits apiece. Bob Moose relieved starter, Luke Walker after five innings and was tagged with the loss after surrendering three runs in the top of the sixth inning. WP-Daryl Patterson. LP-Bob Moose(6-9),
Pirate ace, Steve Blass will try to get the team back on track in game two as he goes up against Jerry Reuss.
