Doug Rau pitched no-hit ball for seven innings and then settled for a three-hitter as the Dodgers defeated the Giants, 5-1. Chris Speier doubled to lead off the eighth and wreck Rau's no-hit bid. The Giants' two other hits and their run came in the ninth on singles by Mike Sadek and Derrel Thomas, an infield out by Chris Arnold and sacrifice fly by Bobby Murcer.

The Dodgers decided the outcome early with four runs in the first, starting with a homer by Bill Buckner. Singles by Jim Wynn and Steve Garvey and a double by Ron Cey plated another tally. After an intentional pass to Bill Russell, Steve Yeager singled to drive in two runs. Yeager added his third RBI of the game with a single in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
