In a nationally televised game, Rick Reuschel and Ken Holtzman combined on a four-hitter as the Cubs posted a 3-2 triumph over the Reds. The first Cub run came in the third inning on a double by Ivan DeJesus, a long fly by Greg Gross that moved DeJesus to third, and a sacrifice fly by Larry Biittner. Bobby Murcer led off the fourth with a single and went to third on a hit-and-run play as Bill Bonham took the high chopper and threw batter Manny Trillo out at first. Murcer then scored on a fielder's choice grounder by Steve Ontiveros.
