The Dodgers used walks, stolen bases and an error to good advantage to gain a 4-3 victory over the Padres. Willie Davis walked in the first, stole second and counted on a single by Wes Parker. A pass to Ted Sizemore, double by Jeff Torborg, single by Sandy Vance and forceout by Maury Wills added two runs in the second.

Billy Grabarkewitz walked in the third, pilfered second and scored what proved to be the winning run on an error when a grounder by Sizemore bounced off the glove of Steve Huntz at third base. The Padres kayoed Vance in the seventh, but Joe Moeller saved the rookie's victory after giving up a two-run double by Dave Campbell. [The Sporting News]
