Rod Gilbreath and Willie Montanez each drove in two runs to support the five-hit pitching of Frank LaCorte as the Braves defeated the Dodgers, 5-1, in the first game of a doubleheader. The Dodgers bounced back to win the second game, 4-3, with a four-run sixth inning highlighted by Manny Mota's pinch-single with the bases full. [The Sporting News]
