Chicago Beats St. Louis, 7-3
Tim Rathbone was a major factor in the 7-3 Chicago win over St. Louis. The Traders left fielder was 1-1 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Vern Hensley, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1967 draft, earned the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 1.1 innings. He upped his record to 3-5. St. Louis's current losing streak is now 4 games.

Had Edward Almy not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Almy hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Traders.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Almy.
