Two-hitter by Martinez gave Cardinals 2-1 triumph over Giants. Rookie righthander stopped Clark's hitting streak at 26 games. Cards snapped 1-1 tie in eighth when Oberkfell reached first safely when Madlock misplayed his pop fly, advanced to second on sacrifice by Martinez and scored on single by Brock.

Giants' run came in sixth on doubles by Winfield and Evans. First Card tally came on single by Templeton, stolen base and two grounders. [The Sporting News]
