After being held to only one hit, the Cubs broke loose for four runs in the sixth inning and defeated the Giants, 4-2. Bobby Bonds homered as leadoff man for the Giants for the 10th time this season.

With one out in the sixth, the Cubs loaded the bases on walks to Glenn Beckert and Ron Santo around a single by Billy Williams. Ron Bryant then walked Jose Cardenal to force in the tying run. Carmen Fanzone singled to drive in two counters and the fourth run scored on an infield out by Don Kessinger. [The Sporting News]
