A pinch-single by Jose Cardenal with two out in the eighth inning lifted the Cubs to a 2-1 victory over the Padres, who were stopped on their five-game winning streak. The Cubs picked up their first run on a pass with the bases loaded in the fifth. The Padres tied the score with singles by George Hendrick, Pat Scanlon and Dave Roberts in the sixth. Jerry Morales singled to open the Cubs' eighth and, after two out, Manny Trillo walked before Cardenal came up and delivered his decisive single. [The Sporting News]
