The Cardinals recorded their sixth straight victory, edging the Phillies, 3-2. The score was 2-2 in the bottom of the third inning when Darrell Porter cracked a two-run double and scored on a single by George Hendrick.

The Redbirds had tallied twice in the first frame on a triple by Lonnie Smith, sacrifice by Tommy Herr, single by Keith Hernandez and double by Porter. Bruce Sutter picked up his third save of the year, striking out three in the final two innings. [The Sporting News]
