Don Sutton pitched a three-hitter as the Dodgers completed a sweep of the four-game series with a 4-0 victory to hand the Giants their seventh straight defeat. Johnny Oates and Rick Monday hit homers, while Ron Cey had three singles and drove in the other two runs. Cey's hits gave him nine straight over three games before the Dodgers' third baseman struck out in the ninth inning. [The Sporting News]
