Wednesday's games
Philadelphia (Twitchell) at Atlanta (Morton)
St. Louis (Foster) at Chicago (Jenkins)

St. Louis 9, Pittsburgh 0
Reggie Cleveland held the visiting Pirates to five singles in his shutout win, and Jose Cruz collected three RBIs. The Cardinals jumped Bob Moose for four runs in the first inning and added five more off three Pittsburgh relievers.

Chicago 5, Houston 3 (10 innings)
Jose Cardenal's fourth hit of the game, a double, drove in the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th, and Cardenal himself scored an insurance run on Glenn Beckert's single -- Beckert's third hit and second RBI. Randy Hundley had put the Cubs up 3-1 with a two-run single in the seventh, but the Astros forced a tie on a Roger Metzger triple and Bob Locker wild pitch. Locker was credited with the vultured win, Dave LaRoche with the save, and Jim Ray was charged with the loss.
