Jose Cardenal singled and homered to drive in two runs as the Cubs edged the Astros, 3-2, on Rick Reuschel's eight-hitter. Cardenal followed Rob Sperring's single and Rick Monday's sacrifice bunt with an RBI single in the first and hit a homer in the third. Singles by Andre Thornton and Manny Trillo and a sacrifice fly by Steve Swisher plated a Cub run in the second.
