While Doyle Alexander was pitching a three-hit shutout, the Braves bashed three homers in an 8-0 victory over the Cubs. Dale Murphy connected for the circuit with a man on base in the first inning. In the second, when the Braves erupted for five runs, Bob Horner had a solo swat and Chris Chambliss homered with two aboard. [The Sporting News]
