Chicago Defeated By Cardinals, 4-2
St. Louis Cardinals starter Tink Hence was locked-in. He led his team to a win over the Chicago Cubs, 4-2. St. Louis, at 58-39, occupies first place in the National League Central Division.

St. Louis used a well-timed hit by Jay Murdock to capture the win. The first baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cardinals ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said St. Louis manager David Mendel.
