Doubles by Jerry Martin and Steve Ontiveros produced three runs in the fourth inning and enabled the Cubs to defeat the Reds, 3-1. The Reds' run off Dennis Lamp counted in the first inning on a triple by Ken Griffey and an infield out by Junior Kennedy. With one out in the Cubs' third, Larry Biittner singled and Ken Henderson walked. Martin's double drove in the tying run.

Henderson was run down on a grounder by Mike Vail, but Martin took third and Vail moved to second on the play and both scored when Ontiveros doubled. Bruce Sutter gained his 21st save, retiring the last batter in the ninth in relief of Lamp. [The Sporting News]
