Pat Darcy allowed only five hits and one run in 6 2/3 innings and gained his sixth straight victory when the Reds defeated the Dodgers, 3-1. A blister on his pitching finger forced the rookie's departure. Rawly Eastwick finished the game.

The Reds began the scoring in the second on a walk to Tony Perez and singles by George Foster and Cesar Geronimo. Ken Griffey walked and Joe Morgan doubled for another run in the third before the Dodgers picked up their tally in the sixth on singles by Davey Lopes and Steve Garvey around an infield out. The Reds then iced the victory with a homer by Dave Concepcion in the seventh. [The Sporting News]
