Rick Monday hit a single and two doubles and also walked in the Cubs' support of Bill Bonham, who pitched a five hitter and beat the Braves, 9-1. Monday's first double set up the Cubs' initial run in the third inning. After drawing his walk and scoring in the fifth, Monday drove in three runs with his second double of the game in the eighth. Mike Lum hit a pinch-homer in the Braves' half of the eighth for their lone run. [The Sporting News]
