The Dodgers scored two runs in the seventh inning, one of them unearned on an error by Ted Sizemore, to defeat the Cardinals, 6-5. One of the Dodgers' earlier runs also was unearned on an error by Ken Reitz, but the Cardinals' third baseman doubled in the sixth and scored on a single by Lou Brock to put his club ahead, 5-4.

In the seventh, Leron Lee led off with a pinch-single for the Dodgers. Davey Lopes grounded to Mike Tyson, but Sizemore dropped the shortstop's throw to second, Lee reaching third on the error. Lopes then stole second and both runners proceeded to cross the plate when Bill Buckner singled. [The Sporting News]
