The N. L.'s leading batter, Ken Reitz boosted his average to .421 with four hits, including a run-scoring double in the 10th inning that brought the Cardinals a 4-3 victory over the Reds. The Cards, who were handcuffed by reliever Pedro Borbon in losing the previous night's game by the same 4-3 score, got back at the Reds' bullpen ace by beating him with two out in the 10th when Bake McBride singled and raced home from first on Reitz' double.
