An unearned run on an error by Darrell Evans in the 11th inning enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Braves, 6-5. After the clubs played through nine innings to a 3-3 tie, Dusty Baker singled for the Braves in the 10th and Davey Johnson hit a homer, but the Dodgers came back dramatically to keep the game going when Bill Buckner doubled in the home half and Willie Davis hit a homer.
