Burt Hooton posted his ninth straight victory with batting support from Lee Lacy and Steve Yeager, who hit two-run homers as the Dodgers defeated the Braves, 5-2. Lacy's smash, breaking a 1-1 tie, came in the sixth inning after a triple by Davey Lopes. Steve Garvey singled and was forced by John Hale before Yeager hit his homer in the ninth.
