Manny Trillo, the league's leading batter, tripled and drove in the first two of the Cubs' four runs in a ninth-inning outburst that produced a 7-3 victory over the Dodgers. Bobby Murcer homered for the Cubs and Steve Garvey for the Dodgers, each with a man on base, to help forge a 3-3 tie before the Cubs broke away in the ninth. After Trillo's triple broke the deadlock, George Mitterwald doubled and Ivan DeJesus singled for two insurance runs. [The Sporting News]
