Rick Rhoden collected three hits including a homer, and gained his 14th victory as the Dodgers defeated the Cubs, 5-1. Rhoden was lifted in the ninth inning and Lance Rautzhan gained credit for his first major league save by inducing pinch-hitter Larry Biittner to ground into a game-ending double play. Dennis Lamp was the loser in his debut with the Cubs.
