Larry Walker capped the inning with a 3-run double to give the Wizards a 5-2 lead. Don Sutton continued his hot season, allowing just 2 earned runs on 3 hits in 8 innings. Sutton walked 5, but was able to limit the damage. Sutton is 3-1 with a 2.31 ERA this season. Ralph Kiner homered to lead off the 9th against Sutton, but Rich Gossage struck out Todd Helton with the bases loaded to pick up the save and a 5-3 victory. St. Louis has won just 2 of their last 10 games.
