- Working on a shutout at Wrigley Field, Chicago Cubs pitcher Rick Reuschel was forced to leave the game in the 7th Inning after developing a blister on his finger. Coming into relieve him was older brother Paul who retired the final 8 batters as the Cubs blanked the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-0, marking the first time brothers combined for a shutout.
