Rookie drives in 2 to cap Cub rally
Ed Putman delivered a two run single in the top of the eighth, finishing a three run rally to lift the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants. Earlier, San Francisco took a 3-2 lead in the seventh on Jim Dwyer, Roger Metzger, and John Tamargo hits, but the Cubs tied the game in the seventh with Greg Gross, Bobby Murcer and Larry Buttner key hits. The Giants had tied the game after Mike Krukow’s strong start, and a costly eighth inning error by Tamargo helped Chicago pull away.
