Willie Davis homered with a man on base in the sixth inning for the 2,000th hit of his major league career to clinch the Dodgers' 3-0 victory over the Braves. The Dodgers' other run counted earlier in the fourth on a walk to Joe Ferguson and singles by Willie Crawford and Ron Cey. Tommy John was the winner with the help of Pete Richert, who took over with two men on base in the eighth and saved the shutout with the aid of an inning-ending double play. [The Sporting News]
