Posting his fifth shutout of the season, Don Sutton pitched the Dodgers to a 3-0 victory over the Phillies. Wes Parker homered after a pass to Frank Robinson in the second inning to give Sutton more than enough runs to win, but the Dodgers added another tally in the fifth on a double by Lee Lacy and triple by Willie Davis. Ken Reynolds, the Phillies' loser, suffered his sixth straight defeat without a victory this season. [The Sporting News]
