For the second time in his brief major league career, Silvio Martinez yielded only one hit and pitched the Cardinals to a 4-0 victory over the Pirates. Oamr Moreno singled with one out in the first inning for the lone safety off the rookie, who pitched his first one-hitter in his debut with the Cardinals against the Mets May 30. The Cardinals backed Martinez with homers by Ted Simmons and George Hendrick. [The Sporting News]
