Pirates won by 1.5 games over Cardinals
The Cubs were just 65-92 and wallowing in last place in the East Division, 19 games behind co-leaders Pittsburgh and St. Louis (both 84-73), when they hosted the Cardinals in the middle game of a weekend series on Saturday, Sept. 28.
Cubs starter Rick Reuschel was yanked in the fourth inning after issuing back-to-back 2-out walks. Dave LaRoche walked the first batter he faced, then served up a 2-run double and a 1-run single.
But LaRoche shut out the Cardinals over the next 4.1 innings, while the Cubs got a solo homer from Billy Williams in the fourth, a go-ahead bases-loaded triple from Bill Madlock in the sixth and 4 more runs in the seventh on 2 singles, 3 errors, a wild pitch and a sacrifice fly.

Umpire Joe West, left, says he thanked David Ortiz during the slugger’s rookie season for replacing him as the “ugliest man in the game.” In his final game with West behind the plate, Ortiz congratulated West on once again becoming the “ugliest man” in baseball. West is scheduled to umpire his 5,376th game Tuesday.
