The Dodgers struck for four runs in the first inning and went on to the defeat Giants, 9-3. Ron Bryant, who started for the Giants, failed to retire a batter, giving up a walk to Maury Wills and singles by Bobby Valentine, Willie Davis and Dick Allen for the Dodgers' first two runs.

After Jim Barr relieved, a double by Manny Mota and sacrifice fly by Wes Parker added two more tallies. Steve Garvey homered with a man on base in the sixth inning. [The Sporting News]
