Pinch-hitting, Jim Dwyer delivered his 10th hit in 21 times at bat since being recalled from Tulsa (American Association) and drove in two runs in the eighth inning to give the Cardinals a 3-2 victory over the Reds. With the score tied, 1-1, Joe Torre led off the eighth with a single and stopped at third on a double by Ted Simmons. Clay Carroll, replacing Fred Norman, walked Bake McBride intentionally to load the bases. After Ken Reitz forced Torre at the plate, Dwyer batted for Rich Folkers and came through with the decisive single. [The Sporting News]
