The Dodgers snapped their six-game losing streak behind the pitching of Don Sutton, who defeated the Pirates, 3-2, for his 10th victory. Bill Buckner was hit by a pitch in the first inning and scored the Dodgers' initial run on a double by Willie Davis. Ron Cey walked in the sixth, stole second, moved to third on an infield out and counted on a single by Willie Crawford.

The Dodgers added what proved to be the winning run in the seventh. Davey Lopes singled, stole second, took third on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on a single by Buckner. Sutton had a shutout in the works until the ninth when the Pirates scored on a single by Al Oliver, double by Manny Sanguillen and single by Dave Cash. [The Sporting News]
