The Cubs employed five pitchers who yielded six hits among them and combined to shut out the Giants, 2-1. The Cubs counted both their runs off Ron Bryant in the first inning on a walk to Jim Tyrone, triple by Jerry Morales and infield out by Andre Thornton. Steve Stone, who started for the Cubs, was lifted after Bobby Bonds doubled and Gary Matthews singled in the sixth. Ken Frailing relieved and struck out Chris Arnold. Burt Hooton then took over and retired the next two batters without a run scoring.

When Hooton walked Dave Kingman to open the ninth, Oscar Zamora relieved. Two infield outs and a single by Bruce Miller then produced the Giants' run. Matthews kept the inning going with a ground-rule double, but Dave LaRoche came in as the Cubs' fifth pitcher and retired Gary Thomasson to end the game. [The Sporting News]
