Registering their sixth straight victory, the Cubs edged the Dodgers, 2-1. Barry Foote clouted a solo homer in the second inning for the first run and the Cubs picked up another in the fifth when Lynn McGlothen doubled, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt and came home on a sacrifice fly by Scot Thompson. McGlothen picked up his third straight victory and Sutter logged his 32nd save. [The Sporting News]
