Reggie Cleveland, who allowed only two hits before suffering a hamstring pull on a fielding play with two out in the eighth inning, gained his 10th victory when the Cardinals defeated the Giants, 6-1. Orlando Pena, who finished, also allowed two hits, including a homer by Garry Maddox in the ninth for the Giants' run. Joe Torre and Ted Simmons each batted in two of the Cardinals' counters.
