San Diego ace Randy Jones struggled at Busch Stadium, citing a 45 degree drop in the mound as the cause of his five walks and failure to reach 20 wins. Jones, 19-8, said he overstrived and opened up, failing to keep pitches down. Cardinals shaded the Padres 5-4, aided by a three run first inning and RBI from Ted Simmons and Mike Anderson. In other NL action, Cincinnati beat Atlanta 4-1, Philadelphia topped Montreal 5-4, Dodgers edged Mets 3-2, and Pirates crushed Giants 12-1.
