The Dodgers piled up 17 hits for their season high in an attack that produced a 10-3 victory over the Reds. Reggie Smith and Steve Garvey had three hits apiece. Garvey's blows included a homer. Dusty Baker also hit for the circuit.

The Dodgers built up a 5-0 lead in the first three innings. After the Reds narrowed the gap with a homer by George Foster in the fourth and two unearned runs in the fifth, the Dodgers broke the game wide open with a five-run outburst on seven hits in the eighth inning. [The Sporting News]
