Four Chicago pitchers combined to hurl the Cubs to a 5-1 triumph over the Braves. The Cubs tallied in the first inning on a run-scoring groundout by Leon Durham and boosted their margin to 2-0 in the fourth on an RBI single by Keith Moreland. A squeeze bunt by Junior Kennedy produced the first run of a three-run ninth and a throwing error by second baseman Glenn Hubbard allowed two more runs to score. [The Sporting News]
