Don Sutton gave up a double by Jim Wynn in the sixth inning for the only hit off his deliveries while pitching the Dodgers to a 4-0 victory over the Astros. After Wynn broke Sutton's spell, the Dodgers erupted for all their runs in the home half of the sixth on a single by Bill Buckner, double by Willie Davis and singles by Dick Allen, Wes Parker and Jim Lefebrve, plus forceouts by Manny Mota and Bobby Valentine.
