Ron Cey smashed homers in two successive innings and Dusty Baker also hit for the circuit as the Dodgers defeated the Braves, 5-2. The Dodgers picked up an unearned run in the first inning before the Braves went ahead with a tainted pair in the second. Cey hit his first homer of the game to tie the score in the fourth and, two outs later, a blast by Baker put the Dodgers in front.
