The hitting of Willie Davis and Willie Crawford, who knocked in five runs between them in the third inning, paced the Dodgers to a 9-3 victory over the Cubs. Davis plated a pair with a single and, after Joe Ferguson walked, Crawford smashed a homer. Ferguson and Steve Garvey each batted in two of Dodgers' subsequent runs. [The Sporting News]
