The Giants erupted for seven runs in the fourth inning, featuring a two-run triple by Chris Arnold and three-run double by Gary Matthews to defeat the Cardinals, 9-5. With one out, Gary Thomasson and Bruce Miller singled. Dave Rader forced Miller for the second out, but the roof then fell in on the Cardinals. Arnold hit his triple and scored himself when Bobby Bonds singled. Bonds stole second and counted on a single by Mike Phillips. After Steve Ontiveros doubled and Ed Goodson walked to load the bases, Matthews cleared the sacks with his two-bagger. [The Sporting News]
