Singles by Jose Cardenal, Paul Popovich and Randy Hundley in the 10th inning provided the Cubs with their deciding run in a 4-3 victory over the Astros. Rick Monday homered with a man on base for the Cubs in the fifth and Ron Santo scored after rapping a double in the sixth, but the Astros rallied in the seventh to pull even with three runs on a single by Cesat Cedeno, doubles by Doug Rader and Tommy Helms, a single by Skip Jutze and error by Popovich.
