National League
Pittsburgh 5 at Chicago 0
-The big trade with the Expos is looking good for the Pirates as John Candelaria (10-7, 2.61) strikes out eight in a two-hit shutout and Al Oliver’s replacement in CF, Omar Moreno, hit his 6th home run and stole his 14th base.
St. Louis 6 at Montreal 4
-Joe Ferguson’s 6th home run of the season capped a three-run 9th inning rally for the Cardinals. Al Oliver had tied the game in the 8th for the Expos with a single and scored the go-ahead run on a Larry Parrish double.
New York 7 at Philadelphia 5

San Diego 5 at Atlanta 7
-Mike Jorgensen, Darrell Evans and Darrel Chaney each drove in a pair as the Braves win the final four games of a five game set with the Padres. Winner John Montefusco (3.26) of the Braves and loser Alan Foster (3.42) of the Padres are each 10-11 following today’s decisions.
Los Angeles 10 at Cincinnati 6
-The Reds decision to start Jack Billingham (10-9, 4.02) on three-days rest backfires as the Dodgers jump out to an 8-0 lead by the 2nd inning. The Dodgers win three of four at Riverfront.
San Francisco 1 at Houston 2

American League:
Milwaukee 4 at Boston 5 (12)

Baltimore 5 at New York 0
