The Cubs got a pair of first-inning runs on Jose Cardenal's one-out double, a passed ball, walk, double by Bill Madlock and an infield out, and starting pitcher Bill Bonham made them stand up as he stopped Dodgers on two hits, 2-1. Lee Lacy's leadoff homer in the fourth was good for the only Los Angeles run. The only other hit allowed by Bonham was a second-inning single by Ron Cey. Loser Don Sutton limited Chicago to three singles after the first inning and struck out 11. [The Sporting News]
