After a blister forced Bob Forsch to leave the mound, Darrel Chaney greeted the arrival of Mike Garman with a homer in the fifth inning and the Reds then added three more runs off Al Hrabosky in the seventh to defeat the Cardinals, 4-0. Gullett, who pitched the shutout, beat the Redbirds for the fourth straight time this season and 13th time in 16 career decisions. [The Sporting News]
