Bill Madlock, who was involved in a fight in the game in St. Louis September 22, gained what he called "sweet revenge" with a three-run triple that helped the Cubs defeat the Cardinals, 8-3. Rick Reuschel, who started for the Cubs, walked Ted Simmons and Joe Torre in the fourth inning before calling it quits because of a blister on his pitching hand during a 29-minute rain delay. Dave LaRoche relieved. Bake McBride walked to load the bases, Ken Reitz drove in two runs with a single and Mike Tyson doubled to add a third tally.
