Exploding for 18 hits, the Cubs ended a four-game losing skein, romping past the Pirates, 10-2. Bill Buckner drove in the Cubs' first run with an infield grounder in the first inning and singled home the decisive run in the fifth, and Bump Wills collected RBI singles in the eighth and ninth frames. The five-run Chicago eighth included a two-run triple by Larry Bowa and two-run homer by Leon Durham. [The Sporting News]
