Pounding out 14 hits against four pitchers, the Cubs enjoyed a 10-1 breeze over the Reds. Rick Reuschel retired the first 11 Reds before Joe Morgan singled in the ninth inning. The Reds' lone tally came in the eighth on bunt singles by Pete Rose and Ken Griffey and a single by Morgan.

An error by Rose gave the Cubs their first run in the second inning and they scored another on an RBI single by Dave Rader. Bobby Murcer blasted a three-run homer in the seventh and Greg Gross had a two-run single in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
