A single by Marc Hill with two out in the eighth inning accounted for the only hit off Don Sutton, who pitched the fifth one-hitter of his career, tying the N. L. record as the Dodgers defeated the Giants, 7-0. The other N. L. pitchers with five one-hitters include Tom Seaver, who is still active, and three former stars, Mordecai Brown, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Jim Maloney. Sutton's victory, ending a personal four-game losing streak, was the 187th of his career, tying him with Don Drysdale for most games won in a Los Angeles uniform. [The Sporting News]
