4/19/87:
The St. Louis Cardinals complete a three-game sweep of the defending world champion New York Mets with a 4-2 victory at Busch Stadium, but they lose ace left-hander John Tudor for over three months in a freakish mishap. In the third inning, Mets catcher Barry Lyons, in pursuit of a foul pop-up, tumbles into the St. Louis dugout and falls on Tudor, breaking his right leg. Out until August, Tudor will compile an outstanding 10-2 record in the regular season and win twice more in the postseason as the Redbirds fall just short of a world championship.
