Ken Reitz clubbed a leadoff homer in the 10th inning to help veteran lefthander Jim Kaat post his 265th career victory -- first with the Cardinals -- in a 1-0 triumph over the Mets. Kaat, 41, whose longest stint this season had been four innings, pitched his last complete game exactly two years earlier and his last shutout was in April of 1978. [The Sporting News]
