After picking up their first two runs on homers by Rick Monday and Tim Hosley, the Cubs added a pair in the eighth inning and defeated the Expos, 4-3. Pinch-hitter Champ Summers singled to break a 2-2 tie after the Cubs had loaded the bases on two walks and a hit batsman. Another pinch-hitter, Vic Harris, then forced Summers to drive in what proved to be the winning run. [The Sporting News]
