Cardinals Edge White Sox, 6-5
The St. Louis Cardinals did just enough to sneak past the Chicago White Sox, 6-5, at Busch Stadium. St. Louis first baseman Billy Page, in particular, had a standout performance. St. Louis reliever Ken Nicholson was the winner. His record is now 8-6. The losing pitcher was Pete Keating. The third-place White Sox have lost 4 consecutive games.

St. Louis third baseman Brian Schales helped the Cardinals go up, 6-5, in the bottom of the seventh inning. With the game tied, Schales hit a run-scoring single off Chicago pitcher Pete Keating.

"We're in a little funk right now and we've just got to get ourselves out of it," said Chicago manager Morgan Ensberg.
