The Cubs broke a 1-1 tie with a run scoring single by Don Kessinger in the seventh inning and then added three more tallies in the ninth to clinch a 5-1 victory over the Padres. Singles by Andre Thornton and George Mitterwald around a pass to Vic Harris produced the Cubs' initial run in the second. Dave Winfield tied the score with a homer in the fourth. Mitterwald singled in the seventh, Ken Frailing sacrificed and Kessinger followed with his go-ahead single. In the ninth, Kessinger accounted for another RBI with a single and Rick Monday plated the final pair with a double. [The Sporting News]
