Given 13-hit support, Andy Messersmith improved his record to 7-0 as the Dodgers blanked the Cubs, 10-0. L. A. used two walks and singles by Steve Garvey and Ron Cey to take a 2-0 lead in the first. Messersmith plated the third Dodger run in the second frame with a sacrifice fly. Garvey, who drove in four runs, singled home Jim Wynn in the sixth, stole second and scored on a single by Steve Yeager.

The Dodgers tacked on five more runs in the eighth, with two scoring on Garvey's fourth homer of the season. Messersmith, who contributed three RBIs, authored his sixth complete game and second shutout of the season. [The Sporting News]
