Pete Vuckovich, who went from the starting rotation to the bullpen in an effort to help the floundering Cardinals, pitched four innings in relief and received credit for a save in an 8-6 victory over the Expos. The win was only the third for the Redbirds in their last 19 games.

George Hendrick hit a three-run homer for the Cards and Dane Iorg went 4-for-4 with two RBIs. Gary Carter also had a 4-for-4 night for the Expos, including two homers, and drove in five runs. One of Carter's homers resulted when Iorg and Tony Scott collided going after a fly ball to left-center field. [The Sporting News]
