Dane Iorg went 3-for-3, drove in one run and scored twice to pace the Cardinals to a 4-1 victory over the Expos. Iorg doubled and scored on a single by Mike Ramsey in the second, stroked an RBI single in the third and singled and tallied on a single by Sixto Lezcano in the sixth.

Orlando Sanchez knocked in the other St. Louis run with a single in the second stanza. Lary Sorensen, who had dropped his last four decisions, scattered seven singles in pitching his third complete game. [The Sporting News]
