The Cubs scored three runs in the first inning, two coming on a homer by Andre Thornton, and went on to defeat the Padres, 4-1. Billy Grabarkewitz, leading off, was safe on an error, stole second and scored on a single by Pete LaCock before Thornton rapped his round-tripper. The Padres' run came in the second on a walk to Willie McCovey, single by Dave Winfield and infield out by Dave Hilton. The Cubs got that run back in the ninth with a single by LaCock, pass to Rick Monday and single by Jerry Morales. [The Sporting News]
