Rick Reuschel pitched five-hit ball over eight innings to register his seventh straight victory and Bruce Sutter recorded his 34th save as the Cubs won over the Padres, 3-1. The Cubs scored their first run in the fifth inning on a double by Mike Vail, throwing error by Padre first baseman Gene Tenace and single by Jerry Martin. Another marker followed in the seventh on successive doubles by Martin and Tim Blackwell. Vail batted in the Cubs' insurance run with a single in the eighth. [The Sporting News] |
