Four home runs -- two by Rick Monday and one each by Steve Garvey and Dusty Baker -- accounted for six runs when the Dodgers dealt the reeling Cardinals their fifth loss in succession, 9-3. Rick Rhoden limited the Redbirds to four hits over the first eight innings to become the first 10-game winner in the National League. [The Sporting News]
