| Five-hit pitching by John Fulgham carried the Cardinals to a 2-1 decision over the Cubs. The Redbirds scored their first run in the second inning on an RBI infield out by Garry Templeton and their other tally in the third frame when Keith Hernandez drew a leadoff walk, stole second and came home on a single by Ted Simmons.
