The Dodgers, with Jim Wynn driving in four runs, snapped a three-game losing streak by pounding the Braves, 10-2, behind the nine-hit hurling of Don Sutton. Wynn pounded a two-out homer for the first L. A. tallies in the third, singled home another run during a five-run fifth-inning flurry and delivered a sacrifice fly in the sixth.

Davey Lopes opened the big Dodger fifth with a solo homer, and Willie Crawford later drove in two runs with a bases-loaded single. Sutton, picking up his second consecutive victory after 14 starts without one, handled the Braves, with the exception of Ralph Garr, with ease. Garr had four hits to raise his league-leading average to .368. [The Sporting News]
