Game 1 at San Diego,

Milt Pappas hit a homerun to help himself in a hard fought pitcher's duel in San Diego.  The tough luck loser in the game was Clay Kirby, who went the distance. Bruce Sutter came in to nail down his fifth save of the season. Cubs 2...Padres 1.

Game 2 at San Diego,

Dave Winfield
smacked his 6th homerun as Steve Arlin pitched a complete game gem. Arlin allowed only one run while scattering 8 hits as he improved to 1-3.  Ray Burris got tagged with the loss to move to 1-3 also.  Padres 5.....Cubs 1.

Game 3 at Chicago,

Darrel Thomas collected 3 hits and Mike Ivie's first homerun of the year helped lead a San Diego 10 hit attack to take the series from Chicago. Padre lefty, Bob Shirley(1-2) got the win with six solid innings of work. Rollie Fingers finished the game to earn his 3rd save of the year.  Rick Reuschel evened his record at 3-3 with the loss despite striking out 11 Padre batters in 6.2 innings of work. Padres 5...Cubs 2.
