Don Sutton brought his record to 6-1, Ron Cey clouted his seventh homer of the season and Steve Garvey drove in his 22nd and 23rd runs as the Dodgers defeated the Astros, 3-1. Cey connected for the circuit in the second inning. Garvey came through with a two-run single in the fifth after the Dodgers loaded the bases on a single by Sutton and two walks. Sutton extended his streak of scoreless pitching to 23 innings before Bob Watson homered for the Astros' run in the ninth. [The Sporting News]
