Breaking loose with an extra-base attack, the Dodgers scored three runs in the seventh inning and five in the eighth to defeat the Giants, 8-3. In the seventh, a single by Willie Crawford, triple by Steve Garvey and homer by Ron Cey tied the score.

Davey Lopes singled in the eighth, stole second and scored the go-ahead run on a single by Lee Lacy. After a pair of walks loaded the bases, Ken McMullen batted in two runs with a ground-rule double and Steve Yeager drove in two more with a triple. [The Sporting News]
