Ed Goodson, who was out of the Giants' starting lineup because of a pulled groin muscle, delivered a two-run pinch-single in the sixth inning to defeat the Cubs, 5-4. Rick Monday and Joe Pepitone hit homers for the Cubs and Ken Rudolph knocked in two runs with a single. Chris Speier homered with a man on base for the Giants in the first.

Dave Kingman, playing third base in place of Goodson, hit for the circut with two out in the sixth. Gary Thomasson followed with a single and Jim Howarth was safe on an error before Goodson batted for Elias Sosa and came through with his game-winning hit. [The Sporting News]
