A three-run homer by George Hendrick in the first inning triggered the Cardinals to an 11-4 rout of the Phillies. Hendrick's blast followed a single by Garry Templeton and walk to Keith Hernandez. The Redbirds added three runs in the second on run-scoring singles by Tommy Herr and Templeton and an RBI triple by Hernandez. Dane Iorg cracked a solo homer in the third and Hendrick picked up his fourth RBI with an eighth-inning single. [The Sporting News]
