Playing before a Helmet Night crowd of 49,058, the Dodgers defeated the Cubs, 5-0, behind the five-hit pitching of Tommy John. The Dodgers backed John with two double plays, their 100th and 101st of the season.

The Dodgers scored four runs in the third inning, three coming on a homer by Steve Garvey, and added a tally in the fourth on a walk to Davey Lopes and singles by Bill Buckner and Willie Davis to pin Fergie Jenkins with the 100th defeat of his career with the Cubs. [The Sporting News]
