With Pete Vuckovich's second straight route-going performance, the Cardinals snapped a three-game skid with the 7-2 victory over the Phillies. The Cards scored in the fourth inning on a double by Garry Templeton and single by Keith Hernandez and made it 2-0 in the fifth on singles by Ken Reitz, Templeton and Tony Scott. The Redbirds salted the contest away in the sixth with three more runs, the first coming on a sacrifice fly by Reitz and the other two on a triple by Ken Oberkfell. [The Sporting News]
