The Cubs broke a tie with two unearned runs in the seventh inning and added an insurance pair in the ninth to defeat the Cardinals, 7-3. With two out in the seventh, Don Kessinger walked, Jose Cardenal singled and Bill Madlock was safe on an error by Keith Hernandez. Rick Monday then grounded to Ted Martinez, who threw wildly to first, allowing Kessinger and Cardenal to score. George Mitterwald iced the victory with a bases-loaded single for the final pair in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
