A pinch-double by Mike Tyson in the bottom of the 11th inning lifted the Cubs to a 9-8 triumph over the Padres. The score was 8-8 going into the Chicago 11th when Ivan DeJesus led off with a walk and came around on Tyson's blow. The Cubs had deadlocked the game in the bottom of the ninth on a two-out, two-run single by Bill Buckner. [The Sporting News]
