Going the distance for the first time this season, Bob Forsch pitched the Cardinals to a 2-0 whitewashing of the Padres with his first shutout since 1979. Gene Tenace led off the seventh inning with a homer, and later in that frame the Redbirds picked up an insurance marker on Forsch's run-scoring single. [The Sporting News]
