The Cardinals tie a record by using 8 pitchers in one game, but lose, 9 – 8, in 10 innings to the Redlegs and slip 5 games off the pace. Jerry Lynch’s 8th-inning homer ties the game; the Redlegs set the National League mark with their 11th pinch-hit home run of the year.

Gail Harris is the last player to hit a home run as a New York Giant, as they beat the Pirates, 9 – 5, in the 2nd game of a doubleheader. Ruben Gomez gains the last New York Giants victory.
