| Bob Forsch, who pitched 5 2/3 innings before being removed, received credit for his 19th victory when the Cardinals defeated the Mets, 10-6. Taylor Duncan, Cardinals' rookie third baseman, hit his first major league homer in the fourth. When the Cards put the game away with five runs in the sixth, Forsch helped himself, driving in a pair with a single. [The Sporting News] |
