Orlando Cepeda clouted a three-run homer in the first inning, enabling George Stone to pitch the Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Dodgers. Felix Millan doubled and Hank Aaron walked ahead of Cepeda's smash. The Dodgers scored in the fifth on doubles by Ted Sizemore and Maury Wills and added their other run in the seventh when Billy Grabarkewitz hit for the circuit. [The Sporting News]
