Paul Popovich connected for the first grand slam of his major league career to help the Cubs beat the Cardinals, 7-0, behind the six-hit pitching of Juan Pizarro. Carmen Fanzone singled, Jim Hickman walked and Frank Fernandez was safe on a two-out error by Joe Torre before Popovich hit his homer off Jerry Reuss in the third inning.
