Mike Marshall made his 93rd appearance of the season, breaking his own major league record, and pitched two hitless innings in relief as the Dodgers defeated the Reds, 7-4, to take a 3½-game lead in the West Division race. The Dodgers bunched two-out singles by Jim Wynn, Steve Garvey and Willie Crawford for a run in the first inning and added a pair in the fourth on a homer by Joe Ferguson, single by Bill Russell, sacrifice by Doug Rau and double by Davey Lopes. The Reds came back with a homer by Tony Perez in their half and tied the score in the fifth when Cesar Geronimo singled and Dan Driessen hit a homer.
