Led by Bobby Murcer, who had three hits, including a three-run homer, and four RBIs, the Cubs downed the Mets, 9-4. Murcer, who had five hits the day before, extended his consecutive hit streak to eight, two shy of the league record. He singled in his first two trips, belted his homer in the sixth inning and drew an intentional walk in his final at-bat in the eighth.
