With two out in the first inning, the Dodgers exploded for four runs to start a 10-1 romp over the Cubs. Willie Davis sparked the outburst with a double, Joe Ferguson walked, Willie Crawford singled to drive in Davis and Ron Cey followed with a three-run homer. Davis collected a total of four hits before the game was over and Crawford had three. The Cubs averted a shutout when Carmen Fanzone doubled and Glenn Beckert singled in the seventh.
