Playing third base for the first time in his major league career, Ted Simmons committed an error in the 10th inning that enabled the Dodgers to defeat the Cardinals, 7-6. Simmons fielded a grounder by Bill Russell and threw wildly to first, allowing the batter to take an extra base. After Dusty Baker, trying to bunt, popped up, the Cards walked pinch-hitter Manny Mota intentionally, but another pinch-hitter, Ted Sizemore, singled to drive in the winning run. Reggie Smith hit two homers for the Dodgers.
