Driving in two runs with a single and homer, Keith Moreland keyed the Cubs' 5-4 decision over the Mets. New York took a 2-0 lead in the third inning on George Foster's two-run homer, but the Cubs scored four runs in the fourth on singles by Bill Buckner and Moreland, an error by second baseman Bob Bailor and Dan Briggs' single. Moreland led off the sixth with his round-tripper. Bill Campbell went the final 2 1/3 innings to earn the save. [The Sporting News]
