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.
