A pass to Andre Thornton with the bases loaded in the 10th inning forced in Rick Monday and gave the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Astros. Monday tripled with one out off Ken Forsch, pitching in relief of Larry Dierker. The Astros then passed Matt Alexander and Vic Harris intentionally to fill the bases before bringing in Fred Scherman, who failed to find the plate with four straight pitches to Thornton. Cesar Cedeno homered for the Astros' run in the first inning and Billy Williams tied the score with a circuit clout for the Cubs in the fifth.
