With two strikes, Dwain Anderson laid down a squeeze bunt for the tie-breaking run as the Padres scored twice in the eighth inning to defeat the Cubs, 4-2. Dave Roberts singled, took third on another single by Fred Kendall and scored when Anderson, formerly with the Cardinals, bunted for his first RBI of the season. Randy Jones, who pitched a four-hitter, iced his victory with a single, scoring Kendall. [The Sporting News]
