After scoring three runs in the first inning, the Dodgers were blanked until the 15th when Willie Crawford singled and raced home on a double by Steve Garvey to defeat the Cardinals, 4-3. Joe Ferguson homered with a man on base in the first. Crawford followed with a single, stole second and scored on a single by Steve Garvey. The Cards picked up an unearned run in their half of the first and tied the score in the fifth when Ken Reitz was safe on an error and Bernie Carbo smashed a homer. [The Sporting News]
