Flu-stricken Rick Monday came off the Cubs' bench and smashed a three-run pinch-homer in the sixth inning to beat the Padres, 6-5. The Padres started the game with a bang, scoring three runs on a homer by Willie Davis and another on a circuit clout by Doug Rader. The Cubs came back with two in their half of the first on a homer by Jerry Morales and added a run in the second before Monday's pinch-homer in the sixth decided the outcome. [The Sporting News]
