Wiping out a four-run deficit, the Dodgers exploded for seven runs in the seventh inning, featuring a homer by Reggie Smith with two men on base, to salvage the finale of a three-game series with the Cardinals, 9-6. Smith, formerly with the Cards, homered in each game of the series. Keith Hernandez, Willie Crawford and Bake McBride hit homers to give the Cards a 5-0 lead before the Dodgers awoke with a run.
