Staked to a 10-0 lead, Gary Nolan departed after allowing only three hits in six innings and gained his sixth straight victory as the Reds massacred the Cardinals, 10-1. Lynn McGlothen was the loser, but the Reds turned the game into a rout at the expense of Ron Bryant and Ryan Kurosaki with seven runs in the sixth.

Bryant gave up three straight hits before being yanked in his first appearance with the Cardinals. Kurosaki yielded three hits and walked two while retiring only one batter before Greg Terlecky made his major league debut and cut off further scoring. The Cards picked up their run off Will McEnaney in the seventh on a double by Ted Simmons and single by Ken Reitz. [The Sporting News]
