A two-run double by Ken Reitz climaxed a three-run fourth inning as the Cubs ended their four-game losing streak by shading the Dodgers, 4-3. Steve Dillard opened Chicago's fourth with a double and remained at second on Bill Buckner's looping single.

After Jerry Morales forced Buckner at second, Hector Cruz singled home Dillard and Reitz then doubled to give the Cubs a 3-0 lead. The Cubs tallied in the sixth stanza on a run-scoring infield hit by pinch-hitter Mike Lum. Reggie Smith's two-run pinch-homer in the top of the ninth left the Dodgers one run shy.
