After the Cubs exploded for five runs in the first inning, the Dodgers came slugging back to gain a 13-9 victory, extending their winning streak to five games. The Cubs' outburst in the first featured a grand slam by Joe Pepitone. The Dodgers, in making their comeback, scored in every inning from the third through the eighth with an attack that included two homers and a triple by Billy Grabarkewitz, a two-run triple by Willie Davis and a two-run homer by Jim Lefebvre. Maury Wills collected five hits in five trips. In addition to Pepitone's slam, the Cubs had circuit clouts by Billy Williams, Johnny Callison and Randy Hundley. [The Sporting News]
