Unfurling a three-hitter, Andy Rincon pitched the Cardinals to their fourth straight victory, a 3-1 decision over the Cubs. It was Rincon's first win since May 9 of last year, when he suffered a broken arm. The Redbirds broke a 1-1 tie in the seventh inning when Ozzie Smith singled, Rincon sacrificed and the runners reached second and third on a throwing error by pitcher Fergie Jenkins. After Lonnie Smith flied out, Tommy Herr delivered a single that scored both runners. [The Sporting News]
