The Cubs' Randy Martz, making his first start after five relief appearances, combined with Dick Tidrow on a five-hitter and cracked the decisive two-run single in the fourth inning of a 5-2 victory over the Braves. Atlanta had taken a 2-0 lead on Dale Murphy's sacrifice fly in the first and doubles by Glenn Hubbard and Rafael Ramirez in the second.
