Back-to-back homers by Reggie Smith and Ron Cey in the first inning started the Dodgers' scoring in a 9-3 victory over the Phillies. The Dodgers followed with a five-run outburst in the second, Cey and Steve Garvey batting in two apiece. Rick Monday hammered a homer with a man on base in the fifth to complete the Dodgers' support of Don Sutton, who gained his fourth straight victory. [The Sporting News]
