A homer by Dave Kingman in the seventh lifted the Cubs into a 7-7 tie with the Reds before the game was suspended after nine innings because of a time limit. The Cubs had to catch a plane at 6:05 p.m. The game was resumed in the 10th inning July 23, the next time the Reds visited Chicago. [The Sporting News]
