The Cubs erupted for five runs in the first inning to start on their way to a 7-1 victory over the Reds. Ivan DeJesus walked, stole second and scored the first run on a double by Bill Buckner, who also crossed the plate on singles by Dave Kingman and Jerry Martin. Barry Foote then knocked in two runs with a triple and counted himself on a single by Scot Thompson. [The Sporting News]
