The first grand slam of Steve Yeager's career snapped a 2-2 tie in the seventh and carried the Dodgers to a 6-3 victory over the Reds. Jim Wynn gave Los Angeles an early lead with a two-run homer in the first, but George Foster pulled the Reds into a tie with a duplicate blow for Cincinnati in the top of the seventh.
