Five days after coming off the disabled list, Steve Stone gave up only three hits in six innings and gained credit for his first victory of the season when the Cubs defeated the Padres, 4-0. Stone had been out with a disabled shoulder. Bruce Sutter completed the shutout, holding the Padres hitless in the last three frames. Bill Madlock drove in two of the Cubs' runs with a single and double. [The Sporting News]
