A grand-slam home run by Dave Kingman was the big blow as the Cubs posted a 9-4 victory over the Astros. A bases-loaded situation was set up in the sixth inning by an intentional base on balls. A single by Dave Roberts and walk to Ivan DeJesus sent Astro starter Joaquin Andujar to the showers in favor of Oscar Zamora. A double by Greg Gross plated Roberts and after Larry Blittner received an intentional pass to load the sacks, Kingman unloaded his seventh career grand slam.
