Driving in six runs, George Hendrick sparked a 17-hit attack as the Cardinals outlasted the Pirates, 12-9, Bobby Bonds drove in one run and Hendrick two in a four-run first inning. A two-run double by Bonds highlighted a four-run second inning in which Hendrick had an RBI single. Hendrick's bases-loaded single plated two tallies in a three-run sixth and he added a solo homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
