Billy Williams, who batted in four runs in the previous day's game when the Cubs ended their 11-game losing steak by defeating the Dodgers, 5-1, smashed a two-run homer to beat the Dodgers again, 2-1. Ron Cey homered for the Dodgers in the third inning. Don Kessinger singled for the Cubs in the sixth and was forced by Jose Cardenal before Williams whacked his game-winning homer off Claude Osteen.
