Mike Torrez yielded only one hit -- a single by Adolfo Phillips to lead off the eighth inning -- and shut out the Expos, 10-0, for his second victory with the Cardinals this season and his 11th in a row since last July 1. In addition, Torrez enjoyed a perfect night at bat with three singles in three official trips. The Cardinals' 15-hit attack also included a homer and two singles by Dick Allen. [The Sporting News]
