The Cubs scored an unearned run in the ninth to pin a fourth consecutive defeat on the Dodgers' Andy Messersmith, a 1-0 shutout. Jerry Morales opened the Chicago ninth with a single, and went to second when right fielder Willie Crawford bobbled the ball. Andre Thornton sacrificed Morales to third and Manny Trillo followed with an RBI single to center to make a winner of Rick Reuschel, who got ninth-inning relief help from Oscar Zamora. Reuschel pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the eighth.
