Darrel Chaney, batting .212, gave the Reds a boost with his first homer of the season, a three-run blast in the fifth, and drove in a fourth run with a single as Cincinnati toppled the Cubs, 11-4. Tony Perez drove in the 1,000th run of his career with a third-inning single. Six of the winners' 19 hits were doubles.

Bill Madlock and Jerry Morales homered for the Cubs, who kayoed winner Fred Norman in a three-run sixth. Clay Carroll hurled runless relief over the final three frames. [The Sporting News]
