Formerly an East Division contender, the Cardinals fell into fourth place when they were shut out by Steve Rogers and lost to the Expos, 7-0. Pete Mackanin batted in two of the Expos' runs with a triple and picked up a third RBI by drawing a pass with the bases loaded, while Mike Jorgensen hit a two-run homer. [The Sporting News]
