Five singles in the eighth inning resulted in three runs and provided the Dodgers with a 6-5 victory over the Expos. Singles by Ellie Rodriguez, Ed Goodson and Bill Buckner accounted for the first run to put the Dodgers ahead, 4-3. Steve Garvey and Ron Cey then followed with run-scoring singles to enable the Dodgers to withstand a two-run pinch-homer by Jose Morales in the Expos' half of the ninth inning. [The Sporting News]
