Extending the Cardinals' skid to nine games, the Cubs pounded their way to a 10-2 victory with the aid of two-run homers by Dave Kingman and Dave Rader. Larry Biittner also contributed two runs with a pinch-double. The Cards' only scoring off four Cub pitchers came on homers by Mike Tyson and Jerry Morales. [The Sporting News]
