A pinch-single by Lou Brock, scoring Jerry Mumphrey in the 10th inning, gave the Cardinals a 4-3 victory over the Dodgers. The Cards took a 3-0 lead with the aid of a homer by Keith Hernandez, but the Dodgers pulled close with circuit clouts by Steve Yeager and Bill Russell in the fifth inning before Dusty Baker tied the score with a two-out homer in the ninth. Mumphrey singled in the 10th and moved up on a sacrifice by Mike Tyson, setting the stage for Brock's deciding single. [The Sporting News]
