Ron Dunn and Bill Madlock batted in five runs between them as the Cubs defeated the Phillies, 7-4, for their sixth straight win. Madlock drove in a run with a single and Dunn two with a double in the first inning when the Cubs scored four times. The Phillies came back with three runs in their half of the first and tied the score in the third on a double by Willie Montanez and error by Dunn.

Madlock broke the tie with a run-scoring double in the fifth and Dunn accounted for this third RBI with a double in the seventh. Another double by Andre Thornton wrapped up the Cubs' scoring in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
