Capping a comeback by the Dodgers, Jim Wynn smashed a homer with two men on base in the 11th inning to defeat the Giants, 6-3. The homer was the third of the game for the Dodgers, who tied the score at 1-1 in the seventh when Davey Lopes hit for the circuit. The Giants regained the lead at 3-1 when Dave Rader hit a two-run double off Mike Marshall in the eighth.

The Dodgers picked up a run in their half on singles by Steve Garvey and Ron Cey, a sacrifice by Manny Mota and infield out by Bill Russell before tying the score in the ninth with a homer by Joe Ferguson. In the 11th, Ferguson was on second with two out when the Giants walked Bill Buckner intentionally to get at Wynn, who upset the strategy with his homer off Randy Moffitt. The wallop was Wynn's 30th of the season. [The Sporting News]
