John Hale, who hit his first major league homer to produce two runs in the sixth inning, also singled and scored in the eighth to bring the Dodgers a 5-4 victory over the Giants. Dave Rader hit a two-run homer for the Giants in the second and Von Joshua added a solo swat for a 3-2 lead in the fifth before Ron Cey doubled and Hale homered in the sixth. The Giants tied the score in the seventh when Cey threw wildly for a two-base error on a grounder by Derrel Thomas and Willie Montanez singled.

In the eighth, Hale singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Ivan DeJesus. Steve Yeager struck out. The Giants then passed pinch-hitter Willie Crawford intentionally, but Davey Lopes wrecked the move with a single that drove in Hale. [The Sporting News]
