A two-run homer by Rick Monday carried the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Braves. Dusty Baker doubled ahead of Monday's smash in the second inning. Burt Hooton held the Braves to five hits until Gary Matthews and Willie Montanez singled with one out in the seventh. Charlie Hough came in to retire Jeff Burroughs, but Biff Pocoroba singled to score Matthews. Hough then ended the threat. [The Sporting News]
