Rick Monday hit a grand-slam homer and drove in two more runs with a single to carry the Cubs to an 8-5 victory over the Padres. With the support of Monday's power, Fergie Jenkins beat the Padres for the 13th straight time without a defeat since the expansion club entered the N. L. in 1969. Monday connected for his homer off Clay Kirby in the fifth inning after singles by Adrian Garrett and Paul Popovich and a pass to Jenkins. [The Sporting News]
