After a rally to tie the score with two runs in the ninth inning, the Dodgers scored twice on a bases-loaded double by Bill Russell in the 11th to defeat the Reds, 5-3. Clay Kirby, who started for the Reds, had a 3-0 lead and had allowed only one hit until Andy Messersmith homered for the Dodgers' first run in the sixth. After Kirby left the game with a stiff back, the Dodgers jumped on Pedro Borbon in the ninth.
