Losers of three one-run decisions in Cincinnati a week earlier, the Dodgers won their home opener from the Reds, 5-2, with home-run help from Ron Cey and Jim Wynn. Back-to-back run-scoring doubles by Davey Lopes and Bill Buckner with two out gave L.A. a 2-0 advantage in the third. Cey opened the fifth with a homer and Wynn connected in the sixth for a 4-0 lead.
