The Cardinals, who had won five straight games, were stopped on their streak by the Dodgers, 8-2. Burt Hooton pitched a six-hitter and gained his first victory since June 18. The Dodgers, after scoring on a double by Steve Garvey in the first inning, put the game away with four runs in the second on three hits, an error and sacrifice flies by Lee Lacy and Garvey.

Steve Yeager had three hits in three official trips, including a homer. Doug Howard hit his first major league homer for the Cardinals in the fifth, batting for loser Lynn McGlothen. [The Sporting News]
