Claude Osteen yielded only three hits and pitched the Dodgers to a 4-0 victory over the Mets. Joe Ferguson decided the outcome by hitting a homer off Jerry Koosman in the second inning. The Dodgers added a run on a triple by Willie Davis and sacrifice fly by Ron Cey in the sixth and completed their scoring with two in the ninth on a single by Osteen, double by Davey Lopes, sacrifice fly by Bill Buckner and single by Ferguson.
