Yielding just five hits, Andy Rincon recorded his first major league shutout as the Cardinals downed the Cubs, 8-0, to extend St. Louis' win streak to five games. After the Redbirds took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on an RBI groundout by George Hendrick, they exploded for six runs in the third frame on an infield hit by Keith Hernandez, a double by Hendrick, two-run double by Gene Tenace, two-run triple by Tommy Herr and a run-scoring single by Rincon.
