When both clubs dipped into their bullpens, the Cardinals came up with a winner in Rich Folkers, but Dave Giusti failed in relief as the Pirates lost, 5-2, in 11 innings. Folkers hurled the last two frames after replacing Lynn McGlothen and allowed only one hit. Giusti, taking over for Ken Brett in the 11th, retired pinch-hitter Jim Dwyer on a pop-up, but Joe Torre doubled. The Pirates then passed Ted Simmons intentionally to get at Ken Reitz, who doubled for his third hit of the game, driving in Torre and Simmons. Mike Tyson followed with a single to score Reitz.
