The Mets visit Busch Stadium with the hope of jumping into the division lead. Instead the Cardinals sweep the Mets. Next week's series at Olympic Stadium is now do-or-die.

Bostock enjoyed a great evening at the plate. Every time he came up in the latter innings, the crowd was on their feet cheering. He laced a base-hit in the 1st inning, stroked a one-base hit in the 2nd inning, smashed a solo-shot out of the park (his 10th of the season) in the 4th inning, laced a single which was good for two runs in the 5th inning and tripled which plated a run in the 7th inning. John Urrea was perfect in the ninth giving him his 4th save on the season. The winning pitcher was Eric Rasmussen(19-8) who allowed 5 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. Pat Zachry(11-12) was the loser. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving up 9 hits and 4 walks in 4 innings. 'Bostock led the way - we just jumped on his back and let him take us,' Rasmussen said. 'I'm glad I don't have to face him. I'm glad he's on my team.'
