Mike Marshall, Dodgers' relief ace, was the loser on his own error with a wild throw in the 10th inning that enabled the Braves to gain a 3-2 victory. The Dodgers combined a double by Ron Cey and single by Bill Russell for a run in the second and added a homer by Jim Wynn in the third before the Braves tied the score in the fifth with singles by Ivan Murrell and Marty Perez, a sacrifice by Craig Robinson, infield out by Vic Correll and single by Paul Casanova.

With one out in the 10th, Frank Tepedino singled and Johnny Oates bunted safely, sending pinch-runner Leo Foster to second. Ralph Garr then hit a one-hopper to Marshall, who tried to start a double play but threw wildly to second base, allowing Foster to score. [The Sporting News]
