The Dodgers used a pair of RBIs by Ron Cey and homers by Steve Garvey and Jim Wynn to defeat the Mets, 4-3. Mike Marshall hurled three scoreless innings for his seventh relief victory. Wynn and Garvey singled off reliever Ken Sanders to open the Dodger eighth and advanced on a sacrifice before Cey's hit to center.

The Mets had taken a 3-2 lead in the sixth when Dave Kingman was safe on Garvey's throwing error, took second on Joe Torre's single, moved to third on Rusty Staub's sacrifice and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jack Heidemann. Two-out doubles by Torre and Staub and an RBI single by Heidemann scored the Mets' runs in the fourth. [The Sporting News]
