The Reds, after falling behind, 5-0, came back with the aid of two homers by George Foster to defeat the Dodgers, 7-6. The winning run was set up when Charlie Hough, hurling in relief, hit both Pete Rose and Joe Morgan with pitched balls in the eighth inning. Tony Perez followed with a double for his first hit of the season to drive in Rose and complete the Reds' sweep of the three-game series.

After a triple by Bill Buckner led to a run in the first inning, the Dodgers knocked out Clay Kirby in the fourth during a four-run splurge that included doubles by Steve Garvey and Ron Cey. Foster hit his first homer of the game in the Reds' half of the fourth to spark the score-tying rally. The Dodgers took the lead again when Dave Lopes scored on a double by Buckner in the sixth, but Foster's second homer of the game in the seventh equalized matters again before the Reds profited from their two hit batsmen in the eighth.
