An error that produced an unearned run in the fifth inning enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Giants, 1-0, in a duel between Don Sutton and Ron Bryant. Bill Buckner singled in the fifth and was forced by Willie Davis. With two out, Joe Ferguson doubled with Davis stopping at third, but when the throw by Garry Maddox from center field bounced away off the pitcher's mound, Davis came home to score the game's only run.
