The first Dodger in history to collect 200 hits for each of three consecutive seasons, Steve Garvey achieved that club mark with a single in the second inning during an 8-1 victory over the Padres. Dennis Lewallyn, who pitched the first seven stanzas before giving way to Charlie Hough, gained credit for his first major league victory. [The Sporting News]
