Cardinals Prevail, 7-5, Over Chicago (N)
The St. Louis Cardinals overcame a pretty good performance by Chicago (N) center fielder Jack Rothrock, beating the Cubs, 7-5, at Busch Stadium. Rothrock went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Chris George, the winner, is now 1-3. He struck out 3 and walked 1 over 6.2 innings, while allowing 5 runs on 10 hits. St. Louis goes to 61-81, Chicago (N) to 89-54.

Willie Horton drove in one run for St. Louis. The two-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Henderson Alvarez III. It was his 109th RBI of the season.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Horton. "You've got to get results."
