Hitting a homer and double, Bill Madlock drove in four runs to account for the Cubs' 5-1 victory over the Astros. Madlock hit his homer in the first inning after Rick Monday was safe on an error by Bob Watson. In the second, Mick Kelleher singled, moved up on a sacrifice by Ray Burris and scored on a single by Jose Cardenal. Monday walked and Madlock then doubled to produce the Cubs' final two runs. Cesar Cedeno hit a homer for the Astros' lone counter off Burris, who scattered seven hits.
