Jim Wynn's 27th homer of the season, after a single by Bill Buckner in the first inning, started the Dodgers off to a 6-2 victory over the Cardinals. Wynn, who walked three times in the game, drew a pass in the third, stole second and scored on a single by Steve Garvey. The Dodgers then chased Bob Gibson in the fifth.
