One of the N.L.'s best hitting pitchers, Donnie Moore came through with a single, driving in the last two of the Cubs' six runs in a third-inning rally that beat the Dodgers, 9-7. Joe Wallis homered for the Cubs in the second, but the Dodgers knocked out Ray Burris in their half while scoring five runs to take a 6-2 lead. In the third, the Cubs sent 10 men to bat and collected six hits, in addition to profiting from an error by Steve Garvey on what should have been the third out.

Moore, who batted .300 last season, broke the 6-6 tie with his single. Garvey accounted for three of the Dodgers' runs with a homer and double. [The Sporting News]
