Chicago first baseman Dave Kingman was a significant contributor in his team's 6-5 triumph over the New York Mets. He hit 2 home runs, both off RHP Nino Espinosa. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 for Chicago. Chicago starter Ken Holtzman was credited with the win after throwing 94 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 5-4. Chicago now has a 3-game win streak.

Had Bobby Murcer not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 1st, Murcer hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Cubs.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Kingman.
