Staked to a four-run lead in the first inning, Doyle Alexander pitched the Dodgers to a 9-1 victory over the Giants. Manny Mota and Willie Davis singled to start the Dodgers rolling, Mota going to third and Davis taking second on the throw. After an intentional pass to Dick Allen loaded the bases, Jim Lefebvre lofted a sacrifice fly for the first run, Steve Garvey drove in two with a single and Joe Ferguson added a run with another single.
