A homer by John Hale and run-scoring single by Steve Yeager in the fourth inning enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Mets, 2-1. After Hale led off the stanza with his circuit clout, Steve Garvey walked, stopped at second on a single by Ron Cey, advanced to third after the catch on a long fly by Willie Crawford and crossed the plate on Yeager's hit. Don Sutton, who gained his 16th victory of the season, limited the Mets to three hits with their run counting in the fourth on a single by Rusty Staub, pass to Wayne Garrett and single by Mike Phillips.
