. . . where the 1970s live forever!

Willie McCovey rapped a double and two singles, driving in two runs, and Bobby Bonds belted a homer as the Giants defeated the Dodgers, 5-0, behind the four-hit hurling of Jim Barr. The Dodgers committed six errors and only two of the Giants' runs were earned. With a crowd of 55,185 on hand, the Giants got to Don Sutton for two runs in the first inning. Tito Fuentes was safe on an error by Bill Russell and scored on a double by McCovey, who counted himself on a single by Ed Goodson.

A single by Gary Matthews, an infield out and two errors by Ken McMullen on one play added a run in the third. Garry Maddox singled in the fifth, stole second and scored on a single by McCovey. Bonds capped the attack with his homer in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
