Brothers Rick and Paul Reuschel combined on a six-hit shutout as the Cubs defeated the Dodgers, 7-0. A walk, singles by Rick Monday and Bill Madlock, an error and infield out gave the Cubs a 2-0 lead in the first. Monday whacked a two-run homer in the second after Manny Trillo had doubled and then scored on Don Kessinger's single.
