Extending their winning streak to four games, the Cubs took over first place in the N.L. East with a 6-4 triumph over the Phillies in 10 innings. With two out and nobody on in the bottom of the 10th, Dave Kingman was hit by a pitch and Manny Trillo followed with a drive into the left field bleachers for his first home run of the season. The Cubs trailed, 4-2, going into the bottom of the ninth but tied the game with two out when Steve Ontiveros and Dave Rader singled and Greg Gross tripled. [The Sporting News]
