Following up the shutout work of Bill Singer and Pete Mikkelsen in the previous night's game, Joe Moeller also whitewashed the Braves, pitching the Dodgers to a 7-0 victory. The Dodgers scored in the first inning when Billy Grabarkewitz and Manny Mota singled and Jim Lefebvre forced Mota. In the sixth, Mota doubled, took third after a long fly by Willie Davis and counted on a sacrifice fly by Wes Parker. The Dodgers then pounced on two relievers for five runs in the ninth to ice their victory. [The Sporting News]
