The Reds ended the 10-game home winning streak of the Cubs by pounding out a 9-6 decision. The onslaught began with four runs in the first inning. Ken Griffey tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joe Morgan. George Foster was hit by a pitch, Dan Driessen drew a walk, and Dave Concepcion doubled in one run. A single by Mike Lum plated two more.

Sacrifice flies by Morgan and Foster produced a pair of tallies in the second frame and the Reds got another pair in the fifth on a single by Dave Concepcion and doubles by Lum and Bill Bonham. [The Sporting News]
