A three-run outburst in the fourth inning carried the Cubs to a 3-2 victory over the Cardinals behind the pitching of Steve Stone and Oscar Zamora. Jose Cardenal walked, Bill Madlock singled, Andre Thornton doubled and Steve Swisher singled for the first two tallies before Thornton crossed the plate with what proved to be the winning run when Dave Rosello forced Swisher. Zamora replaced Stone in the eighth and picked up his fourth save in less than a month since the Cubs purchased the much-traveled minor leaguer from the Astros' farm club at Denver (American Association).
