His ire aroused during an argument with an umpire in the first inning, Don Sutton took out his anger on the Cardinals and allowed only five hits in pitching the Dodgers to a 3-1 victory. Sutton became "hot" when umpire Shag Crawford warned that he was not bringing his hands to a set position before pitching.

Steve Garvey, who had a perfect day at bat with three hits and a walk, tripled to drive in two runs for the Dodgers in the third inning. Sutton added to his lead with a single that produced an unearned run in the fourth. The Cardinals picked up their lone run in the home half of the fourth on a safe bunt by Bake McBride, a walk and single by Ken Reitz. [The Sporting News]
