The Cubs scored two runs in the third inning on Larry Biittner's double and Jerry Morales' sacrifice fly and went on to beat the Dodgers, 3-1, as Rick Reuschel and reliever Bruce Sutter doled out four hits. Sutter, who doused a Dodgers' threat in the seventh, was credited with his 16th save. [The Sporting News]
