Despite a great performance by Chicago (N) right fielder Robby Williams, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Cubs by the score of 8-5 at Wrigley Field. Williams went 4 for 5 with 4 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The Cardinals lead the National League Central Division by 7½ games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Les Dufour? The St. Louis shortstop had a bases-clearing double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cardinals on top, 6-2. For the game, Dufour had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said St. Louis manager .
