The second double of the game by Manny Trillo scored Rudy Meoli with the winning run to give the Cubs a 5-4 triumph over the Dodgers in 10 innings. Meoli batted for winning pitcher Bruce Sutter to open the 10th and drew a walk. He reached second on Ivan DeJesus' sacrifice bunt before Trillo's hit.

The Cubs carried a two-run lead into the top of the ninth, but the Dodgers tied the game on Lee Lacy's two-run pinch-homer. Steve Garvey extended his hitting streak to 21 games, four short of the league record for the start of a season. [The Sporting News]
