The winning run scored on a passed ball as the Cardinals edged the Giants, 5-4, for their sixth straight victory. Jerry Mumphrey opened the Redbird ninth with a triple. After Keith Hernandez and Ted Simmons were walked intentionally, Giants' catcher Mike Sadek failed to hold a pitch by Randy Moffitt and Mumphrey raced across the plate. [The Sporting News]
