A four-run rally in the sixth inning carried the Cubs past the Padres, 7-4. The winning outburst began when Steve Ontiveros led off with a two-base hit and scored the tying run on a double by Hector Cruz. Larry Cox bunted for a single, sending Cruz to third. After an out, Ivan DeJesus walked to fill the bases, bringing on John D'Acquisto in relief of starter Bob Shirley.

D'Acquisto promptly issued consecutive walks to pinch-hitter Greg Gross and Larry Biittner. Eric Rasmussen replaced D'Acquisto and Dave Kingman hit a sacrifice fly for the fourth run of the inning. Bruce Sutter came on in the seventh to pick up his eighth save of the season. [The Sporting News]
