Although collecting only three hits off Bob Gibson, the Dodgers were able to defeat the Cardinals, 3-1. Bill Buckner walked and Willie Davis homered off Gibson in the first inning. Davey Lopes walked in the fifth, stole second and scored on a single by Buckner. The Cardinals, who had seven hits off Don Sutton, scored their only run in the seventh on singles by Ted Simmons, Jose Cruz and Mike Tyson. [The Sporting News]
