Equalling his career high, Dave Kingman smashed his 37th homer, connecting with two men on base in the fourth inning, to pace the Cubs to an 8-6 victory over the Cardinals. Kingman, who also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the first, previously hit 37 homers with the Mets in 1976. Bruce Sutter gained his 25th save, pitching the last 1 2/3 innings. Lou Brock collected three hits for the Cards to bring his career total to 2,991.
