The Cubs smashed seven homers, including three in one inning, to wallop the Padres, 12-2. The Cubs piled up seven runs in the first two innings, five scoring on a pair of round-trippers by Jim Hickman. Fergie Jenkins helped himself by homering in the sixth. Billy Williams added one in the seventh and Joe Pepitone, Johnny Callison and Glenn Beckert wound up the slugging display with solo swats in the eighth. The Padres had a homer by Cito Gaston as their only response to the Cubs' cannonading. [The Sporting News]
