The Cubs got a great pitching performance from Rick Reuschel, who allowed only four hits, struck out 11 and did not issue a pass in shutting out the Expos, 3-0. Reuschel also drove in the Cubs' first run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning after singles by Andre Thornton and Randy Hundley. Don Kessinger walked and scored on a double by Ron Santo in the seventh and Hundley hit a homer in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
