A home run by Davey Lopes highlighted the Dodgers' 3-1 decision over the Cubs. Lopes led off the first inning with his round-tripper and the Dodgers added a run in the second when Dusty Baker reached first safely on an error by Cub shortstop Ivan DeJesus, advanced to third on a single by Bill Russell and scored when third baseman Rodney Scott misplayed a grounder by Rick Rhoden. In the fifth frame, L. A. scored again on a single by Bill North and a double by Reggie Smith. [The Sporting News]
