With relief help from Dan Warthen, Steve Renko beat the Cardinals for the second time in six days and contributed two hits to the Expos' 5-1 victory. The Cards' only run came on a homer by Reggie Smith in the fourth inning. Renko scored one run and drove in another before leaving the game with a stiff shoulder after throwing one pitch in the seventh. In his previous meeting with the Cardinals June 29, Renko pitched the route and also rapped three hits in a 7-3 victory. [The Sporting News]
