Bobby Bonds hit a two-run homer in the seventh inning and drove in another run with a single in the ninth to enable the Giants to defeat the Dodgers, 8-6. Willie Davis batted in five runs for the Dodgers with a pair of homers. Singles by Lee Lacy and Bill Russell, a double by Bill Buckner and Davis' first homer of the game gave the Dodgers a 4-3 lead in the third.

The Giants went ahead with two runs in the fourth and made it 7-4 when Dave Rader singled and Bonds homered in the seventh. Davis hit his second homer with Buckner on base in the eighth, but Randy Moffitt replaced Jim Willoughby and retired the last six batters. [The Sporting News]
