After falling behind in the first inning, 4-0, the Cubs came back with the aid of seven unearned runs to defeat the Padres, 12-5, and snap their six-game losing streak. Cito Gaston homered with two men on base to pace the Padres to their quick lead, but Jose Cardenal sparked the Cubs' rally with a three-run double in the third and a homer that tied the score in the fifth.

 The Cubs then added the go-ahead run in that same stanza on singles by Randy Hundley and Carmen Fanzone, plus an infield out by Gene Hiser. The rest of the Cubs' runs were unearned, including five that clinched the outcome in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
