CHICAGO AP The St. Louis Cardinals under Whitey Herzog push toward the NL East lead. Herzog notes the club’s rebuild after losing Sutter, injuries in 1983, and a shift from last to atop contention as the Mets and Cubs face tougher competition.
St. Louis Cardinals place Terry Pendleton on the 15 day disabled list effective June 15 after a pulled left hamstring against the Cubs. Curt Ford is recalled from Louisville to join the roster. Pendleton had appeared in 58 games this season, hitting .231 with two homers and 33 RBI. Ford hit .280 with five homers, 23 RBI and 19 stolen bases at Louisville, the Cardinals’ top farm club.
Gorham native John Glidewell, once a promising Expos farmhand, eyes a return after elbow surgery. He sits on the Class A West Palm Beach roster on the disabled list, throwing in the low 80s as he recovers full strength.
New York Mets blank Chicago 2-0 as Rick Sutcliffe's remarks heat up the rivals. Gary Carter homered and made a run-saving play to back Ron Darling's five-hit shutout, while Dwight Gooden stays off the Mets' roster. Carter's blast followed by Heep's RBI double cap the scoring.
Jocko, sporting Cardinals gear, gushes over a Monday sweep of the Cubs and proclaims plans to buy playoff tickets. A fan argues the season is long and Chicago is flawed, with Cardinal improvements cited as a real race contender.
Jocko argues over who deserves more All-Star consideration, praising Van Slyke Matthews and Herr while disputing Pendleton Ryne Sandberg and Moreland. He favors Sutcliffe Trout Eckersley and Smith, notes midreliever struggles, and questions Cubs and Cardinals depth amid a drunken benchside exchange.
At Oakland Hills Chen, a relative unknown, holes a 3 wood for the first double eagle in Open history and leads by three. A late surge, then a quadruple bogey and a collapse follow as North wins by one stroke over Barr Watson and Chen. After a shank-like mishap on the fifth, Chen ends with an 8 and the memory of the shot lingers.
