Two of the Dodgers' All-Star pitchers, Don Sutton and Mike Marshall, combined to shut out the Pirates, 3-0. Sutton allowed three hits before aggravating an old groin injury and leaving the mound after Dave Parker led off the seventh inning with a single. Marshall finished the game on a yield of one hit.

The Dodgers collected only three hits off Dock Ellis, but they included a homer by Jim Wynn in the sixth. Their two other runs were unearned as a result of a passed ball in the third and an error in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
