With a Bat Night crowd of 47,094 on hand, Lynn McGlothen rendered the Padres' bats practically useless and pitched the Cardinals to a 3-0 victory. The Padres, who suffered their second straight whitewashing at the hands of the Cardinals, collected only three hits in going down to their eighth defeat in a row.

Luis Melendez collected three of the Cardinals' nine hits and scored their first two runs. Melendez singled in the second inning, stole second and crossed the plate on a single by Ken Reitz. Singles by Melendez, Reitz and Mike Tyson added a run in the fifth. The final marker scored in the eighth on singles by Reggie Smith and Ted Simmons and a wild pitch. [The Sporting News]
