The Dodgers, who had lost five straight games, finally gained their first victory of the season by defeating the Braves, 5-1. Doug Rau, who pitched the first six innings before giving way to Mike Marshall, helped himself to the decision, batting in a run with a single in the fifth inning and then scoring himself when the Dodgers crossed the plate four times to snap a 1-1 deadlock.
