Jerry Martin's two-out RBI double in the eighth inning keyed the Cubs' 6-4 triumph over the Reds. The game was tied when Cliff Johnson stroked a one-out single in the eighth and was replaced by pinch-runner Carlos Lezcano, who came home one out later on Martin's two-bagger. After an intentional walk to Tim Blackwell, a single by Steve Dillard plated Martin with an insurance tally. [The Sporting News]
