A triple by Mike Tyson drove in two runs in the second inning and enabled the Cardinals to gain a 3-1 victory over the Cubs, who were stopped on their seven-game winning streak. Jose Cruz walked, took third on a single by Ken Reitz and scored when Rick Reuschel threw low to the plate on a tap by Ed Crosby before Tyson rapped his triple.
