With the aid of a 31-mile-an-hour wind, the Dodgers set a club record for homers with seven and extended their winning streak to 11 games by outslugging the Cubs, 14-12. Henry Cruz hit two homers and Ed Goodson, Bill Buckner, Ron Cey, Bill Russell and Steve Yeager rapped one apiece.

The Dodgers scored in each of the first eight innings before being blanked in the ninth. The Cubs, who had two homers by Rick Monday, accounting for six runs, scored in six innings. The two-team total of scoring in 14 half-innings tied an N. L. record. [The Sporting News]
