A throwing error by Dave Cash allowed the tie-breaking run to score in the sixth inning and give the Cardinals a 2-1 victory over the Padres. The game was deadlocked at 1-1 when Keith Hernandez opened the sixth with an infield hit, moved to second on a single by Ted Simmons and reached third as George Hendrick bounced into a double play. Ken Reitz then hit a routine grounder to Cash, but the second baseman threw the ball into the Padres dugout as Hernandez scored. [The Sporting News]
