Joe Morgan singled off first baseman Pat Bourque's glove to score Darrel Chaney in the ninth inning and give the Reds a 6-5 victory over the Cubs. Cesar Geronimo opened the inning with a double and Chaney was passed intentionally. Attempting to sacrifice, Dave Concepcion forced Geronimo at third before Morgan followed with his game-winning hit

Bourque and Billy Williams homered for the Cubs. Williams' blow was the 362nd of his career, putting him ahead of Joe DiMaggio into 22nd place on the majors' all-time list. [The Sporting News]
