Driving in three runs, including two with a seventh-inning double that a snapped 4-4 tie, Ken Oberkfell led the Cardinals to a 7-5 decision over the Expos. Bob Forsch began the seventh with a safe bunt and reached third when first baseman Warren Cromartie and second baseman Rodney Scott mishandled a bunt by Tony Scott, who took second. Oberkfell then slammed his two-bagger. George Hendrick drove in the final run of the frame with a grounder. [The Sporting News]
