Fernando Valenzuela became the first 11-game winner of the major league season, allowing four hits while pitching the Dodgers to a 6-0 triumph over the Cubs. The Dodgers scored the only run they needed in the second when Bill Russell doubled, advanced on Valenzuela's single and came home when Steve Sax forced Valenzuela.
