Jim Wynn hit a double and homer, driving in four runs, and Joe Ferguson broke out of a slump with two circuit clouts to power the Dodgers to a 7-3 victory over the Cardinals. Wynn drove in the Dodgers' first run with his double in the third inning and scored himself on a single by Steve Garvey.

Rick Auerbach singled in the fourth and was forced by Don Sutton. Davey Lopes followed with a single. After Willie Crawford struck out, Wynn hit his homer. Ferguson, who went into the game batting only .186, rapped his round-trippers in the fifth and seventh. Sutton, with his eighth victory of the season well in hand, retired after eight innings and Jim Brewer finished. [The Sporting News]
