A sacrifice fly by pinch-hitter Willie Crawford with the bases loaded in the ninth inning provided the Dodgers with a 7-6 victory over the Cubs. Rick Monday homered with a man on base for the Cubs in the second, but the Dodgers forged ahead, 6-2, before Bill Madlock hit the first grand slam of his major league career to kayo Don Sutton in the eighth.

Mike Marshall relieved and picked up his 13th victory on the Dodgers' run in the ninth. The inning began with an infield single by Steve Garvey for his fifth hit of the game. Ron Cey bunted and was safe on an error by Oscar Zamora. Joe Ferguson then moved the runners along with a sacrifice and Von Joshua was passed intentionally before Crawford batted for Bill Russell and delivered his sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
