Pete Vuckovich starred on the hill and at the plate to spark the Cardinals to a 3-0 victory over the Padres. The righthander, who pitched his second shutout and sixth complete game of the season, led off the third inning with a single, reached second on a one-out single by Garry Templeton and scored on a single by Keith Hernandez.

Templeton tallied on a sacrifice fly by Ted Simmons. Ken Reitz opened the seventh with a double, took third on a groundout and scored when Vuckovich laid down a perfect squeeze bunt. [The Sporting News]
