The Cubs piled up 16 hits, including three singles by Rick Reuschel, who also rapped a sacrifice fly, while beating the Giants, 10-1. Reuschel gave up the Giants' lone run in the second inning on singles by Gary Thomasson, Dave Rader and Tito Fuentes, but the Cubs broke the 1-1 tie with two runs in the third on a walk to Jerry Morales, single by Billy Williams, squeeze bunt by Jose Cardenal and single by Bill Madlock. From there on, the Cubs proceeded to breeze to an easy triumph. [The Sporting News]
