In addition to getting a two-run homer by Ron Cey, the Dodgers threw up a tight defense, executing five double plays, to enable Tommy John to defeat the Cubs, 2-1. The Cubs counted their run in the third inning on a double by George Mitterwald, single by Bill Bonham and grounder by Gene Clines, but Bill Russell tripled in the fourth and Cey drilled his homer to decide the outcome of the game between the league's division leaders.
